Hamidou Diallo actually jumped over Shaq in NBA Dunk Contest

Oklahoma City’s Hamidou Diallo stole the show in Saturday’s Dunk Contest, and he broke out one of the wildest dunks in recent memory before he even advanced to the final round.

The dunk earned a perfect 50, and Diallo went on to defeat Dennis Smith Jr. in the finals.

Here was the view from inside the arena.
