Shaq is 1/20 from3 over his career. It's officially more likely in a given play for Shaq to BREAK THE HOOP than make a shot into it from more than 23 ft away.
It wasn't about whether a rim was breakaway or not, it was about the design of the basketball system in general and how the rim was mounted to the backboard that was causing the problem of breaking the glass. The basketball systems that sandwich the backboard in between the rim and a steel backplate with no spacing between the glass and the backing plate are going to be more likely to break the glass as all the pressure exerted onto the rim transfers to the backplate squeezing the glass in between. All of the backboards that have shattered from dunking or some other play are ones that are held up by support arms on each the left and right side of the backboard with only a square steel backplate on the back side of the glass to hold the rim on. The new design that is in use in every NBA stadium today that eliminates any chance of breaking the backboard has one main support arm that attaches to the bottom center of the backboard directly behind the rim. This design uses a backing plate that is slightly spaced away from the back of the glass backboard. There is four spacers that insert into the four mounting holes for the rim in the backboard and are long enough to allow a gap between the backboard and the backing plate so the bolts that hold the rim on go through the holes in the backboard and through the spacers to the backing plate. The backing plate is then bolted to the support arm on the rest of the system, and allows all of the forces and pressures to be transferred down through the rest of the system instead of all of the force and pressure being applied to a non spaced 6 inch x 6 inch square back plate that squeezes the glass backboard. With this new/current design any type of rim even the non breakaway type can be mounted to the backboard without any chance of breaking the glass. The breakaway rims nowadays are mainly used to be more forgiving on players rather than on the backboard, thus the NBA upgrading to the Spalding 180 degree breakaway rims about 10 years ago, so that when a player dunks weather it be on the front or now on the sides it will breakaway.
To be fair, since then they have started installing the rim to the actual metal beam instead of the glass so the stress isn’t put on the glass. If you look closely enough at regulation goals you can see that the rim and glass don’t touch anymore. Many places still do have the breakaway rims that are connected directly to the glass though.
No because I went to dunk in my high school game and when I went to dunk I hung in the rim for 2 seconds and then I heard a little crack so then I let go and the rim flew up and the backboard shattered every where! I wish I had a clip I could show you.
I'm a rim junkie and know about as much on each model as anyone. Yes, they are working. Given that the "modern" breakaway rim debuted in the NBA in 1981 (The Gared Snapback Arena Goal) and countless games have been played on that model and the numerous copy cat models, having a few "failures" here and there is to be expected and probably makes up well less than 1%. The examples you gave are not very good ones. The two Shaq examples, in particular, were not shattered backboards but rather failures of the goal supports. The failures typically seen at the high school level are due to those backboards being suspended from the ceiling thus having no support arm to mount the rim to (from the front side of the backboard). Breakaway rims flex at a maximum of about 45 degrees...this include the newer 180 rims (like the Spalding that the NBA switched to in 2009). Once they flex to that maximum(which is rare) the force is then transferred to the backboard. You'll notice that all the Spalding supports in the NBA have an arm that extends directly to the rim and the rim is mounted to that arm so any stress applied over what the rim is designed to handle then transfers to the arm which is more than capable of handling the force.
He is that kind of teacher that starts the lesson with "today we are going to learn about" then starts a whole story about the lessons and never gives a real answer just say "you tell me"
bro i like the idea and all bout breakaway rims but sometimes when your going for a dunk but don’t get it right in the net and you let go the rim bounces up and sends the ball flying 😓
It’s because the rims from the 90s were still just attached to the glass, but nowadays they’ve made it impossible to break it by bolting the rim through the glass and then onto the post so all the force when your dunk goes through the post.
Do breakaway rims really work?
Shaq: Hold my rings
I could just hear him say that in my head
more like hold my rims
His rings are the rims
@Roman McAveney 👌🏼😂
Whoever made double rims must’ve been insane
Tega X its to prevent people from stealing the rims from blacktops
Near my house there’s a court with double rims and if it’s not a spot on shot it don’t go in
Preston Morgan only rattles and swishes(in a rare circumstance) would go in
You know what, double the damage!
If no one got that then prepare for trouble and make it double
Imagine missing a shot and breaking the backboard 😂😂
Dude was shooting bricks
DeusDeku literally
DeusDeku haha I know right
Philip Gernert what if it was an airball 😂
Definition of bricks
Well it worked in shaq's case the backboard didnt shatter he just broke the support lol
And broke the glass
@@Jtabumfr shaq didnt break the glass in the nba except during inside the nba when he dunked on ahmad rashad lol
Shaq didn’t brake the glass he pulled the whole thing down
He broke the hoops soul
I think hes done both
Archer Whitby penny orlando shaq
True
Shaq, the notorious hoop breaker
Damn he shot the ball and broke the backboard?
Now we know where the term *“brick”* comes from
😂😂
that nigga strong as hell
Lol
AHAHAHA
Nigga was shooting strongies like a mug
I guess breakaway rims don’t work on 300+ lbs players
Shaq didn’t break the backboard he broke the whole damn thing
Vvv

No rim will stop orlando magic era shaq from dismantling the whole thing
@comment Police who else can kinda tug on the rim and break the whole thing
It’s impossible to break the new nba baskets.
0:46 sounds like he’s rapping 😂
0:20 the true definition of the "BRICK"
This was really helpful, it's also pretty fascinating how people can break the backboard just with a ball touching a rim. Awesome video Dexton!!
1:53 Shaq didn't break the rim he broke whole construction
The only difference is Shaq brought down the whole thing
Who are you man

To be fair, shaq only broke the pole support of the whole basket, not the hoop or backboard.
*dexton is like a bunny*
*who loves dexton?*

shaq didn’t just break backboards, he broke the whole hoop😭

My man isn’t hearting comments anymore? Btw ur how to jump higher tutorial has helped me a lot and improved my vertical a lot!

@@dexton00 called it ;)
Dexton Crutchfield oh dang he still doing it, how much time do you spend doing that bro?
The only man who has hearts every comment he has seen
This is a very cool video dexton!
Nice vid Dexton! been subbed since 5k!
I wonder if the people who were under the glass when it shattered started bleeding from the glass going into their skin.
Why does this guy sound like he’s reading off wikipedia...
Shaq pulled the whole thing down! Wow
I know right
Great vid love all the info
No because I went to dunk in my high school game and when I went to dunk I hung in the rim for 2 seconds and then I heard a little crack so then I let go and the rim flew up and the backboard shattered every where! I wish I had a clip I could show you.

You could've chosen any profession, you chose basketball rims
@@blnk3662 No, I’m a graphic designer…I just happen to know a lot about basketball rims.

Hahaha thanks my man
Not gonna lie, I would struggle to jump as high as him with a trampoline
Isiah Thomas could probably break the backboard at this time.
Breakaway Rims are really working like this video helping me understand is really working! Great work!
Dude your content is great

Shaq didn’t break the backboard or he broke the goal
Love the Vids Man

He broke the goal
Brian Shaw or Shaq?
Dexton a human spring.
I like your channel
This Was A Very Interesting Topic Loved The Vid!🥇🏆🏅
if the breakaway rims keep breaking then it doesn’t work
Breakaway rims were not made to stop backboard shattering they installed the hoop to the arm/beam and not to the back board itself
random guest so the back doesn’t shatter dimwit
Dexton da goat 🐐
wow i used to watch all your instagram shit, now u killin it here
Great video! I always wondered about these rims! I do daily vlogs as well everyone come check it out!
