1000 pounds of force for a dunk is CRAZY, you could literally shatter someone's skull with that. Bro could legitimately use dunking as a self-defense tactic.💀
When Shaq came into the NBA he shattered backboards and made a support quit breaking the hydraulics. He was causing game delays from dunking so hard. The new spring hoops and other safety measures were caused by him destroying everything in sight. At the time they were called Shaq proof. It takes a lot of force and the equipment weakening over time to break them but breaks still happens every once and a while.

what happened was. "a dumbass would shatter it and hurt themselves who couldn't actually shoot"
They should have brought shaq
Basketball version of breaking the glass in Hockey areas
there was no reason to drop a fully functional piano…
Dude who thought bolts thru glass was a good idea???
Least now we know someone could dunk a grand piano and it wouldn’t shatter the glass

ok, Piano falling on the ring was not on my 2025 bingo card
Get shaq
Imagine getting dunked on with 1,000lbs of force 😭😳
backboards breaking was literary the only thing making the sport fun to watch xD
Sports Science was awesome to watch
It used to come on either right after school, right before SportsCenter or before a ball game
why not plexi?
This was the coolest thing ever back when a dunk shattered the backboard.
You have to be a total GOON to endanger fellow teammates
I hate when i playing piano but suddenly drop to that fucking basketball ring
How about we let LeBron shoot two straight shots in a row. That’ll do it.
Shaq kept breaking the NBA’s backboards, so the NBA broke his gimmick
I laugh too much when the piano showed up😂😂
Give shaq 2 hours
Just use plastic
Lmao THEY REALLY USED A PIANO INSTEAD OF USING. A wrecking ball 😭😭😭😭
It varies in size too. Why waste the piano 😭
Who needs a piano when Shaq basically did the same thing as a piano 😂
It's always fun to see the backboard shatter. Modern backboards are boring now.
A Grand Piano is oddly specific
They forgot to test it with shaq
Why a piano of all things? Literally getting Loony with the testing

There is no reason to being glass anyways.
It’s pretty simply actually. It’s a wonder they ever bolted it directly to the glass.
Damn, am I stupid? I thought the backboard was made out of hard plastic.
Then just don’t use glass?
you selected the WRONG player for the test 😂
I think they should update the rim because of the safety risk of the safety Becuase of gran linos sitting in the cat
Really would make for a better spectical if the rims could still break. Making them unbreakable was the wrong move imho
Why tf would you ever bolt somthing to brittle glass
Not really related BUT THE THUNDER LETS GOOO
Electrify the rim and watch the problem fix itself.
They should have used Shaq.
but that was awsome
So the space technology was bolting rim… to a steel beam and using polycarbide instead of glass?
why did they originally made the backboards from glass in the first place?. non-american btw.
They needed a bigger counterweight on that backboard with the piano test lol, test wasn't as good as it could have been
Why didn't they use Plexi Glass??
What, were no elephant's available ? LOL
In my country wheb pit metal or nothing, why glass?
Aren't they made of polycarbonate??
Good to know Shaq dunks harder than a grand piano
