VIDEO: Did Hamidou Diallo Just Bring Back the Dunk Contest?

By all accounts, the NBA Slam Dunk contest has been boring to watch over the last few years. But, that might’ve changed tonight, thanks to Oklahoma City Thunder’s Hamidou Diallo.

HD brought the house down with his second dunk when he not only jumped over Shaq, but finished with the Vince Carter elbow dunk!

“SUPERMAN IS IN THE BUILDING!” Got to love the swag too!

Diallo went onto win the contest, and deservedly so. Which leads me to my next question…did he just bring the dunk contest back?

I know the contest as a whole was a dud, but hear me out for a minute. Imagine Diallo, Zion Williamson, Ja Morant, Zach LaVine, and Aaron Gordon going at it next year in Chicago. How sweet would that be? Now those five competing would really bring the excitement back!
