    How many times in an NBA game has the backboard been shattered, and when was the last time it happened?

    Question #94361. Asked by star_gazer. (Apr 06 08 11:20 AM)

    		I'm surprised nobody's touched this one, so I'll start off. My son was showing me some clips of backboards shattering and of goals being wrenched down a couple of months ago.

    This has been done at least a dozen times, first by Darryl Dawkins in 1979, and perhaps most recently by Daniel Orton in January, 2008.

    Here's a partial list of others, including Shaquille O'Neal, Nigel Dixon, Jerome Lane, and Darvin Ham.

    I'm not sure all those were during NBA games, though.
