Growing up in Queens, Hamidou Diallo couldn’t go to basketball camps or travel to learn the game from the best.

Now that Diallo — a bouncy, second-year guard for Oklahoma City — is in the NBA, he is determined to give back and do for the kids coming up behind what he wished somebody had done for him.

“Being a kid from Queens, I wanted to come out to a couple of camps: the NBPA camp, my camp that’s [Friday] and my event that I’m having Saturday, which is like a community give-back,” Diallo said. “Being a kid from Queens, I’m trying to give these kids hope and trying to do what I wish someone would’ve done for me when I was in their shoes.”

While Diallo is in line to log significant minutes this season for suddenly-rebuilding OKC, he was in those kids’ shoes not that long ago.

Diallo was raised in LeFrak City — the same complex that spawned Kenny Anderson and Kenny Smith — but didn’t have NBA players to learn from or the money to travel to their camps. He grew up just playing in his Corona neighborhood because that’s all he knew.

“I didn’t go to any camps when I was younger, to be honest … [I played] just in my neighborhood park. That’s all I pretty much knew. Anybody that grew up in the city and didn’t have the money to do so or didn’t have the outreach to go to the free ones,” said Diallo, who is trying to provide that outreach with Hami Weekend 2019.

First came his appearance at Thursday’s NBPA Basketball Camp at Basketball City. Then there is Diallo’s Free Basketball Camp at Lost Battalion Hall in Rego Park, before wrapping up with the Hami Day Games at Hoffman Park in Elmhurst, less than a mile from LeFrak City.

While Diallo is close with Hassan Diarra — seeing his young friend leave Corona as he did to enroll at Putnam (Conn.) Science Academy, even calling the rising senior “family” — Diallo wants to help as many local kids as he can.

“If a conversation, you being in the gym with me, could change your life and change your path, I don’t mind it,” said Diallo, who was drafted 45th overall by the Nets in 2018 then quickly flipped to Charlotte in a move that set the table for the Nets to get Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

The Hornets dealt Diallo to OKC, where he played 51 games, averaging 3.7 points and 1.9 rebounds. But he flashed his talent in winning the Slam Dunk Contest, and with the Thunder having traded away both Russell Westbrook and Paul George, Diallo’s minutes are sure to spike.

“That really hit home. I didn’t know anything. It’s the NBA, that happens. Different players move, sometimes big players, sometimes small players. … It’s a business and you’ve got to look out for yourself,” said Diallo.

“Last year coming in, I was still looking for minutes and still felt like I deserved more minutes. But things happen, things occur, and it’s basketball. This year I’m coming in and I just trust my work. I’m putting in work day-in and day-out.

“I’m going to have to go out there and produce on the court. I just have to keep preparing myself to take a jump. I don’t rely on trades or players being moved for me to get minutes on the basketball court.”

The Nets signed 6-foot-7 Deng Adel to an Exhibit 10 training camp deal, according to The Athletic. He played 19 games for the Cavaliers. They still have a two-way spot open and two more Exhibit 10s.
