Book Hamidou Diallo for your event

Hamidou Diallo, born on July 31, 1998, is an American professional basketball player currently playing for the Shanxi Loongs in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). Diallo's journey to professional basketball began with a standout high school career, where he was recognized as a consensus five-star recruit and one of the top-rated players in the class of 2017. His athleticism and versatility on the court quickly caught the attention of college scouts, leading him to play for the prestigious Kentucky Wildcats, a program known for producing NBA talent.

During his time at Kentucky, Diallo showcased his explosive athleticism and defensive prowess, which made him a key player for the Wildcats. Although his college career was relatively short, his impact was undeniable, and he declared for the NBA Draft after just one season. In 2018, Diallo was selected by the Brooklyn Nets with the 45th overall pick but was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he began his professional career. His time in the NBA was marked by his high-flying dunks and defensive intensity, traits that made him a fan favorite.

One of the most notable moments in Diallo's career came in 2019 when he won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star Weekend. His jaw-dropping dunks, including a memorable leap over NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal, earned him widespread recognition and solidified his reputation as one of the league's most electrifying athletes. This victory not only highlighted his incredible leaping ability but also brought him into the national spotlight, further boosting his profile as a rising star in the basketball world.

After several seasons in the NBA, Diallo made the decision to take his talents overseas, signing with the Shanxi Loongs in the CBA. This move represents a new chapter in his career, where he continues to develop his game and contribute to his team's success. Diallo's combination of athleticism, defensive skills, and scoring ability makes him a valuable asset in any league, and his journey is far from over as he continues to make his mark on the global basketball stage.
