@scenesharks: When Diddy Tiptoe'd at The 2012 NBA Slam Dunk Contest The 2012 NBA Slam Dunk Contest was filled with flashy moments, but one of the most memorable stunts came from Chase Budinger. In the first round, Budinger enlisted the help of music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs for a tribute to White Men Can’t Jump, a classic basketball movie that happens to be Diddy’s favorite. The film famously explores the stereotype that white men lack the athletic ability to perform high-flying dunks, and Budinger was ready to prove otherwise. For his dunk, Budinger jumped over Diddy, who was positioned underneath the basket, in a moment that stunned the crowd. As Budinger soared over him and slammed the ball through the hoop, it was a clear statement that white men, indeed, can jump. However, some viewers noticed a curious detail in the setup: Diddy appeared to tiptoe just before the jump, subtly inching himself upward. This led to speculation that he was getting suspiciously close to Budinger’s mid-air path, almost as if he was trying to bring himself closer to the dunker’s, well, lower body region. Whether Diddy was simply caught up in the moment or if he was trying to make the challenge a bit harder, Budinger’s successful dunk remains one of the highlights of the contest.
