“Diddy Balances A White Guy On His Head,” And Other Images From The Week That Was

As SportsGrid’s Video Assignment Editor, CJ Fogler’s main job is to grab potentially viral video moments as they happen. But he also takes a lot of screengrabs (and produces a number of animated GIFs) that don’t always make the site. Every week, we’re going to share a few of them with you. For more GIFS and screengrabs, be sure to follow him on Twitter.

TAKE THAT TAKE THAT EH EH EH. A freeze frame catches Chase Budinger dunking over Diddy at the 2012 NBA All-Star Game. You can see the “White Men Can Jump” dunk in motion here; Jeremy Evans would be your eventual winner.

“CUZ THIS IS THRILLER… THRILLER NIIIIGHT.” Serge Ibaka sports a jacket reminiscent of Michael Jackson’s zipper’d ditty as he greets Kevin Durant during the 2012 Three Point Shootout from All-Star Weekend. Durant would eventually finish 2nd to Kevin Love.

OH NO OH NO IS THAT WHAT I LOOK LIKE? A Pittsburgh fan mimics Evgeni Malkin’s goal celebration from the other side of the glass in a game against the Lightning, a game in whichMalkin would pick up a hat trick.

AREA FAN IS UNIMPRESSED. A Nebraska-Omaha fan shows her displeasure with the Minnesota Gophers celebrating in front of her after Kyle Rau’s goal against the hometown Mavericks. The Gophers would win 3-2.

GAHHH GIANT FIREBALL. Daytona crew inspects the track after clearing the truck that Juan Pablo Montoya accidentally set on fire in a collision. They would eventually patch that large furrow in the track and resume, with Matt Kenseth winning the race and Brad Keselowski winning the night.

TOTO GET YOUR TOTE BAG CUZ WE’RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE. NBC cameras catch a dust devil in Phoenix during the World Match Play Championships, which Hunter Mahan won by defeating Rory McIlroy in the final. A similar occurrence on the course produced a floating umbrella – that is not slow motion.

COME AT ME BRO. Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Dwayne Roloson takes offense to being run by Geno Malkin and takes a good solid whack at Malkin’s head. Malkin swings back, and then gets buried by Victor Hedman. As noted above, Malkin would have the last laugh.

EVERYBODY DO A WACKY DANCE. Russell Westbrook celebrates a huge dunk at the All-Star Game and celebrates in what we believe to be an imitation of QWOP (which is possibly the world’s hardest flash game).
