Can Nba Players still break the backboard these days?

nope.

they had new backboards since shaq's incident with the whole thing crashing down.

Kobe Bryant - 81 points Steve Nash - 2 MVPS Vince Carter - Dunk Contest Tmac - Getting injured Kwame Brown - The trade for Gasol Webber - (not nba moment) calling a timeout when there is none Shaq - The diss rap Yao - Getting injured Lebron James - Getting dunked on and jacking the tapes Carmelo Anthony - 33 pts in a quarter Mark Cuban - getting pissed during the 2009 playoffs when the refs didnt call a delibirate foul commited on Melo before his game winning shot.

Lol Man I wish they did, that would some entertaining thing to watch. But these days its harder the backboards are made out of stronger material, and you'd probably get fined and a delay of game warning lol

possible, but unlikely because was asked not to stay on the rim then dunking too long beacuse of other times. Backboards are stronger now but it can happen at any time.

Shaq broke it even with the spring and flex and stuff,

he basically pulled it down so the shocks gave out.

It was in Phoenix when it happened. I think he had broken

the glass before, this time he just pulled it down.

So to answer the question its is possible but not likely.

I wish, i think most are pansies anymore... And i wish people got more creative with there dunks in the game like Vince Carter used to.

yeah if they really tried and slam dunked really hard enough.

shaq was a beast and tore down the whole thing.

who knows, shaq lost weigh so i guess it would be a little difficult for him, um well maybe not he is still a big guy.
