Over the years the AT&T Slam Dunk Contest has lost some of its luster. However, our OKC Thunder Rookie brought his best self and won the event. Diallo became the fourth rookie since 2013 to win the Slam Dunk Contest and the first OKC Thunder Slam Dunk Champion.
NBA.com/Stats released an informative infographic prior to State Farm All-Star Saturday night. The graphic displayed six important dunking elements from the four contestants. Including, ball height, speed on ball, lateral distance traveled, distance contested, max speed run by a player, and hangtime. Diallo ranked first in three of the six categories.
