Happy Laughing Re: How can a game start with a score of 1-0?

It is very hard to break a backboard. If you do a regular dunk and hold on to the rim for 2-3 seconds max, it is not going to break. But if you see someone holding on to it and swinging up and down, clearly they're trying to break it. Now if you're someone Shaq's size and the board breaks when the dunk seems regular, then you can assume it was unintentional. And now that I think about it, from the youtube videos I've seen of Shaq breaking the backboard, I don't recall him being given a technical.
