Diallo outduels Smith for dunk title

Hamidou Diallo is the NBA’s slam dunk champion.

Going over Shaquille O’Neal and getting a boost from rapper Quavo in the finale, the Thunder guard soared to the crown by topping the Knicks’ Dennis Smith Jr. at All-Star Saturday night in Charlotte, N.C.

Diallo topped Smith 88-85 in the finale.

Smith leapfrogged Dwyane Wade and took a lob from Stephen Curry to give himself a chance with his last dunk, getting a perfect score from the judges.

That left Diallo as the night’s final participant. He dunked over O’Neal, hanging on the rim by his elbow, then tearing open his jersey to reveal a Superman shirt underneath. And then he plucked the ball from Quavo as he went airborne for the dunk that sealed the title.

The Nets’ Joe Harris held off the Warriors’ Stephen Curry to win the 3-point contest. Harris made 12 consecutive shots at one point in the final round . ... The Celtics’ Jayson Tatum hit a 3-pointer from just beyond midcourt to beat the Hawks’ Trae Young in the final round of the skills competition.
