Chase Budinger went for a simple, but classic dunk for his third attempt, paying homage to Cedric Ceballos by breaking out the blindfold. With Ceballos looking on, Budinger blindfolded himself, took his run-up ... and missed on his first attempt.
So of course this presented an opportunity to bring the audience into the mix. Ceballos gave Budinger a few words of advice, then the crowd counted out the steps to the hoop. Either this was an elaborate rouse -- come on, Ced's blindfold had holes -- or he really couldn't see.
The crowd and Kenny told him when to jump on the second try and wouldn't you know it, he did! And he pulled off a reverse jam, so that's something neat, I guess.
