Hamidou Diallo walked into last year’s Slam Dunk Contest at All Star Weekend in Charlotte as the candidate least likely to win. Of course, we all remember how that ended. Who can forget when a first year player jumps over Shaq to rip open his jersey and reveal the Superman logo as he hangs on the rim? And even though Diallo is no longer the reigning dunk champion of the NBA (an injury kept him from competing this All-Star break), his intensity and motivation to slam the ball through the hoop have still been on display this season.
Number six on the Thunder deserves to permanently be recognized for his dunking skills.
