Chase Budinger Pays Homage to Cedric Ceballos' Blindfolded Dunk at WEB Sprite Slam Dunk Contest

Ceballos' Iconic Dunk Inspires Budinger's Tribute

The WEB Sprite Slam Dunk Contest has always been a showcase for some of the most spectacular and innovative dunks in basketball history. And this year, Chase Budinger paid homage to one of the most iconic dunks of all time with his own blindfolded recreation of Cedric Ceballos' legendary move.

Budinger's Blindfolded Dunk

Ceballos' dunk, which he performed in the 1992 Slam Dunk Contest, involved him being blindfolded and then jumping over a car while dunking the ball. Budinger's dunk was a faithful recreation of the original, complete with the blindfold and the jump over the car. However, Budinger added his own unique touch by dunking the ball over two people instead of one.

Ceballos' Endorsement

Ceballos himself was on hand to witness Budinger's tribute, and he gave the performance his seal of approval. "That was amazing," Ceballos said. "He did it justice." Budinger's dunk was a fitting tribute to one of the most iconic moments in Slam Dunk Contest history, and it is sure to be remembered for years to come.
