Oklahoma City Thunder guard Hamidou Diallo stole the show in the NBA All-Star Dunk Contest on Saturday night.
The high-flying rookie took over the contest with his second dunk attempt of the night, bringing out Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal. The 20-year-old set up Big Diesel under the basket as a prop, then opened up his jersey to reveal a Superman shirt to pay homage to the former center who used to bear the nickname.
Diallo cleared the 7-foot-2 legend with ease in his first attempt, and finished off the dunk by paying respect to Vince Carter by holding himself up on the rim by his elbow and earning a perfect score of 50.

It’s going to be tough for the youngster to top this performance next year if he decides to defend his crown.
