Thanks to this, I just went to YouTube and watched the Darryl Dawkins videos from the 1970s. While this break is, essentially, a fluke, Dawkins tried to break the board (the second one, at least) and was threatened with a $5000 fine if he did it again. Those also led to backboard redesign including breakaway rims and better shatter-resistant glass.
All I remembered at the time was that I was about 8 years old and I thought it was *way* cool.
