Lucas makes his shots

Of course what is widely held to be the first backboard shattered in a pro game came in warm-ups before the first game ever played by the Boston Celtics, the BAA 1946 lid-lifter at Boston Arena when a player front-rimmed a warmup shot and the improperly installed backboard shattered.

The player was Chuck Connors.
