What's more impressive is how that bearded guy can be totally oblivious to all that glass in his face.

You should also check out that new EMF single. It's totally tubular.

Two words: Chocolate Thunder.

For the record ... having shattered a backboard myself in high school practice ... it's easier than it looks. Especially with the old-school style, non-breakaway rims. It's not magic. You just jump up, grab it and hold on. Your bodyweight yanks the rim off.

This is a very bad post.

I've never seen this highlight before, and I'm a long time fan of MJ-porn. Wow, he could really jump.

Five more words: This will probably be deleted.

Meh. That's nothing on Chocolate Thunder.

Meh. That's nothing on using Preview.

It would've been kinda cool if Jordan did this yesterday.

I used to love doing that ...

... on the C-64.

I guess I should explain why this is worth posting. This obscure footage, taken at a Nike exhibition game in Italy in 1989 that was never televised, is probably the only footage of Michael Jordan shattering a backboard, at least on the internet.

Meh. That's nothing.

At first glance I misread the post as 'Michael Jackson shattering a backboard.'

Seems like something to post to Twitter, but not the blue.

That Choc Thunder link could have been a good backbone for a fun FPP about shattered backboards and the changes made to them.
