throughout the history of basketball there have always been athletes with the size and strength to slam dunk the ball through the rim. however, the first nba player to shatter a backboard, chuck connors (who would become far more famous as an actor), did not do so with a dunk. when playing for the boston celtics in 1946, connors took a set shot during pregame warmups, hitting the front of the rim. because an arena worker had failed to place a protective piece between the rim and backboard, the backboard shattered. all-star power forward gus johnson of the baltimore bullets became famous as a backboard breaker in the nba, shattering three during his career in the 1960s and early 1970s. in the american basketball association (aba), charlie hentz shattered two backboards in the same game on november 6, 1970, resulting in the game being cancelled.
