Man, young Shaq was a force to be reckoned with. Just don't ask him about shooting free throws. But when you're up against him, be prepared for a beating.
The NBA was worried about shattering backboards, and so they switched to spring-loaded baskets. But they never envisioned equipment being unable to hold up to someone like Shaq.
And camera phones! That arena would a lit up with white screens all over the place and people texting each other like crazy about what they just saw! =)
@@adrianhernandez.j2956 Why? Because the rim was ruined and the game was delayed? I thought it would be funny and interesting because everyone would be in awe like, "Did you see what just happened? Shaq took out the whole backboard! Unbelievable!" I thought people back then if they had social media would be going nuts telling each other about it due to having never seen something like that happen in a game before so they probably wouldn't know how to explain it. I wouldn't think of it as depressing unless some of the fans were pissed over the game being delayed and the backboard being broken and that causing scheduling delays and giving them a longer commute home due to heavy late-night traffic on the New Jersey turnpike. Please correct me in your reasoning if you had a different idea. It would be interesting to learn why our reactions to this incident are so radically different.
Imagine the news coverage for this play! I think they had NBA on TBS and TNT back then so I imagine they replayed the snot out of this dunk over and over again and wouldn't stop talking about it all season long. I bet you this made the 11 o'clock news in the Sports Section and was on the front page of the New Jersey and Florida newspapers. Big fat picture of O'Neal eating Dwayne Schintzius for lunch with that jam! Crazy! =)
Great call by Chip Caray on this - and the laugh by Jack Givens with the "goodness" was a perfect complement. No one had ever seen anything like Shaq when he took the league by storm in 1992/93.
Imagine if they had cell phone cameras back then! All those fans underneath the basket that just dropped would be whipping their cells out texting everyone they knew, putting images of the hoop on social network sites, and snapping pictures of it! =)
My hometown in Pine Bluff Arkansas the convention center arena still has this system to this day but the backboard and breakaway rims are not from Gared Pro that the NBA use from 1985-86 season to 2007-08 season (2009 was the last year of the GP snapback rims with the tube-tie nets) the backboard does not have that center brace behind the board that prevents glass shattered action (Chris Morris in that very arena did cracked it thoroughly vs the Bulls in the same season) by the way I dislike the current Spalding NBA hoop systems that meant for highschool and college play.
Great video, I was a 1 1/2 years old when this happened in April ‘93. I vaguely remember this. Facebook and twitter would be exploding if this happened today, and It would be on all the news stations. Shaquille just snapped the backboard at mounting point on arm on stanchion. As what the play by play commentators mentioned, must been a defect in welds on the goal standard. Too bad that broken backboards don’t happen anymore, at the professional level. That’s my favorite part of basketball, the shatter backboards. Because the shattering of the backboards exibits how powerful the slams dunks are.
I remember watching Transworld Sports when they had shaq on. An absolute behemoth of a boy. I remember thinking nothing will stop him in the nba. It was great watching his career. What a player.
@@AEMoreira81 same goals used from 1985-86 to 2007-08 but the rims were from 1981-82 the first year of breakaway rims to 2008-09. 2009-10 season rims now flex from the sides as well
3:48 of Derrick Coleman was breaking backboards too why not make them stronger ? Did shaq revolutionize how basketball goals were made ? Also Dwayne schintzius is guarding shaq ? Shack must have scored 80 this game
He didn't just violate the shot clock. He violated the entire basket. RIP 🙏 🪦 to the backboard. If this were Mortal Kombat, the final would be: "Shaq Attack Wins. Flawless victory!"
In the Dunk contest - "that's a 50 dunk" DO ya'll think that's a 50 dunk? or a zero since the basket must survive in the official rules of the contest?
Opposing Center: "I have to guard him??!!"
Zachary Licht "Fuck This Shit Iam Out"
The best part about this is the song playing in the background “walking on broken glass” 😂😂
Give the DJ a raise
😂😂😂😂😂😂
If there was ever a such thing as a "finishing move" in basketball, this is it.
FATALITY!!!!!!!!
You killed it with the Mortal Kombat reference! Awesome! =)
My nigga it’s called a game breaker
Jay I was hoping someone would say that
The workers at the arena must have called in sick anytime shaq was playing at their arena
Lol should have finished it with a half court game 😂😂😂😂
he would have just broken the other one lol
3v3 instead of 5v5

Break the goal again
Right
The bench players sittin on the floor reacted like a bomb went off lol
To this day, still one of my favorite Shaq moments on the court

Don’t need free throws when you can dunk on God himself
I remember watching this as it happened. Praise me.
The NBA sent engineers to every stadium to test their baskets to test every bolt. This was too dangerous.

One of the greatest calls in NBA history

This happened in 1993. NBA Jam came out in 1992.

Imagine if the game winner was an alley-oop backboard-breaking dunk at the buzzer in Game 7 of the NBA Finals!
Derrick Coleman walking away shaking his head like, "What in New Jersey just happened?"
He broke both in his rookie season? Jeez
Shaq didn't even break the backboard in-game...he broke the entire goal standard.
I'll never forget this on TV & has anyone on here saw that in person to see this game in New Jersey?
Fun Fact: This game took place in Newark, New Jersey where Shaq was born.
Not quite. This is East Rutherford, NJ
That dunk was a real Shaq attack
We have no timeouts left
Shaq: 🍺
😂
If this were to happen today, Twitter would break.
This hoop is called the Hydro-Rib Pure Shot. It was made by Spaulding, and has been discontinued and outdated for the last 15+ years

Wait, I thought Spalding just started making the hoops in 2009. Didn't Gared make all of the basketball hoops pre-2009?
Walking on Broken Glass is playing in the arena after the dunk.
A brand new song back then!
LOL, they should've banned Shaq from dunking for the rest of the season LOL
This was the second to last game of the regular season. The Magic missed the playoffs that year on a 4th or 5th tiebreaker.
Ricky Moss shut up
Adam Moreira the Pacers and the Magic went 41-41 but the Pavers had the tie breaker I believe
I was joking lol..
Ricky Moss A
The backboard killer
That basket that Shaq broke is probably in some collectors hands and is worth thousands!
Shaq has it in his backyard. He brought it home
The NBA: we are settle, the arena, the public, the basket boards ....
Shaquille O'neal: hold my beer!
George Mitroi hold my basketball goal
The Chaos Dunk.
This made me cry laughing on the floor
The ONLY BIG man to bring the house
Those 22 dislikes may come from those who replace the basket😉
He forced them to invent a better backboards.
shaq is a legend, a beast of all basketball beasst
when u talk about Shaq , make sure u mention him in a conversation as tha 🐐
Damn right
shaq gave his home town fans something to cheer about
I like the shaq o'neal breaks the backboard in new jersey
Darryl Dawkins called this "Manpower".
Had to make everything hella more sturdy cause of this young beast.
they should just run 4 on 4 half court and sub in players LOL
Coach: We don't have any timeouts.
Shaq: I got you coach.
And the stadium plays Annie Lennox "Walking on Broken Glass" LMFAO (glass didnt shatter here but still funny)

Big Show?
Big boy, Powerful Dunks
THAT ICONIC DUNK BY SHAQ OVERSHADOWED THE REAL FEAT THAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT WHICH WAS NICK ANDERSON SCORING 50 POINTS OFF THE BENCH!!
Wow
This is amazing
How are u big enough to pull a whole basket down lol. He said it was the rail lmao
The fans have not respect 😂. They should've applaud the basketball board. Like a injured player.
Nah its like a Wilder beast herd watching the weak get eaten by lions thinking better him than me
Dang unbelievable power. U can see the the opposing center blocked the ball.. and shaq was still able to power it for a dunk
I love it!! And the best part is it was ar the Meadowlands! Amazing things happen there!
"All the acid rain in New Jersey just ate it away" lol
imagine if this was the game winning dunk
shoot210 the game winning, buzzer beating dunk in game 7 of the NBA finals, now that would be amazing
Epic Tien getting a dunk buzzer beater is probably impossible
@Songli Upchan deandre ayton: hold my beer
If you like bringing down the house in NBA Ballers you have Shaq to thank for that.

That sounds like Chip Carey doing the commentary. I didn't know that he did Orlando Magic games.
I wish you have got the New jersey nets version of that one

The Longest Yard 😂😂😂
I'm sure Reebok sold A LOT of Shaq's that year. 💪🏾
If this happened today Shaq would receive a tech & get ejected
Not ejected, but in today’s rules, you get a technical foul for breaking the rim because Shaq did it so often.
@@Sai4651 This was so dangerous they had engineers inspect the goals league wide.
Also, new goals are stronger and the glass is stronger.
If this happened today you might have a concussion from the metal hitting the player. Giving a T to a knocked out player is a bit ridiculous.
5 years later and refs are still callin dumb technical fouls lol
Shaq, how would you guard yourself? "I wouldn't."
I think they were prepared for a possible Shaqquake.
Hey thank you for liking my comment.
