That’s not true at all, you clearly are too young to know who Darryl Dawkins was but he use to smash backboards in the 80’s. After him the NBA decided to construct something much more solid and after that they had absolutely no problem and let me tell you they had big time dunkers back in that era. Then Shaq showed up!! No player before or during his career demolished the backboards besides him so that should tell you everything. Next time just do the research before you post lies because other idiots will think you're telling the truth. Sorry for being tough on you, but I don’t like liars.

Yeah the excessive hanging on the ring (especially shifting your weight) is just bs. It's actually concidered a technical and if the rim breaks due to this it can be the cause of a forfeit in some leagues. The clean quick slam / break dunks are something else but I think with modern rings should be impossible.

Ever broken rim, before 2000’s We’re they making it from pure glass back then ? 🤔

[@Veganerd_]

Those old setups had bolts or something else going through the glass to hold the rim on, which means the force/power of someones dunk went right in to the glass, causing it to break sometimes. After those days, they redesigned the whole apparatus so that no force is exerted on the glass, and also so that the rest of it should be strong enough to withstand dunks. And somehow, Zion Williamson has managed to damage a couple of them. lol
