- Hydraulix, on 10/12/2007, -6/+116What's for dinner?
- virtualball, on 10/12/2007, -8/+83That just shows you that a lot of Diggers are sports-retarted.
The correct term, instead of goal post, is "Basketball-scoring-device-with-alumin-loop-catcher" Oh wait.... a google search says its a "hoop" ...thats a weird name for it ;) - Dgen_X, on 10/12/2007, -1/+67Shaq is equal to about 5.34444 humans
- blaze03, on 10/12/2007, -3/+64Kazaam.
- Rikkochet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+60"He got hit by the shot clock.. That's a violation!"
Apparently Madden is also employed by the NBA. - kzos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+54If this play was called by John Madden:
"If ehh, if ehh, if ehh the guard...if ehh he passes the ball to Shaq, then ehh Shaq has the ball. And if ehh Shaq, if he dunks it in the hoop, that's gonna, th-th-that's gonna, th-then that's gonna be two points." - bquigly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+53He's going to need some Icy Hot after that.
- camintmier, on 10/12/2007, -3/+31Must have still had the armor on from when he did that movie "Steel"...

We need to be able to vote to change subjects from news to video - Paperclip1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Chocolate Thunder makes a good porn name.
- soda0289, on 10/12/2007, -7/+28What's sports?
- meatmcguffin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15The USA won WW2 eh? Jesus Christ, that's just plain dumb
- TheMatt92, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Goddamn genie powers...

Another crazy dunk. - soogy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12You are correct, this video happened in his rookie year, back in the '92 season in a game against New Jersey. However, Shaq did this TWICE that year.
This one man caused the NBA to reinvent their nets and backboards. Shaq is a ***** god. Except from the free-throw line. - Mu99ins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I can think of 4 reasons why they hang on the hoop.
Considering that there must be thousands of b-ball players who can jump that high, there are more reasons.
1) To avoid coming down and injuring other players after the dunk. What comes up must come down.
2) To avoid landing atop of other players and getting injured in the process.
3) To showboat the dunk.
4) To try to break the backboard.
After having several backboards busted up during games, the hang was outlawed.
Later, that rule was modified to allow hanging when other players were under the hoop.
They've strengthened the backboard so now players can hang without causing damage. - wingnut21, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16Who's the idiot that can't design a hoop to hold the weight of a dunking human?
- devindotcom, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Steel was cool when he was in that Superman comic. I refuse to believe his costume, though.
Also... feel like watching the video without random stuff around it?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmoosY1SkSM - variant, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Not too surprising when you consider what kind of an athlete Shaq was back in his Magic days. I'm guessing this video is sometime from his first 4-5 years in the NBA, when he was fresh out of college, hungry, and in the best shape of his career. Like Garnett, but much bigger and much more dominating in the post.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Here's Shaq breaking some glass! Glass face! hahaha
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WZYwLgcsYY - prgmctan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13You can totally call someone a beast without being homosexual
- virtualball, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Chocolate Flaccid-Penis?
I think not! - kronix2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8"His nickname was "Chocolate Thunder", and he claimed to be an alien from planet Lovetron where he spent off-season practicing "interplanetary funkmanship" and where his girlfriend Juicy Lucy still lived"
*****, I didn't know basketball was that interesting. - jamkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Well, given this occurred a relatively looong time ago (O'Neal left the Magic in 1996), I think its probably safe to say that there was no Digg or other social bookmarking community, no YouTube, no google video, or any other semblance of video clip distribution on the Internet. So criticizing it for being old seems like a rather moot point. Would posting up one of the first color pictures ever also warrant a comment of 'OMG! THIS IS OLD NEWS! YOU ARE STUPIDS!' ?
- BAmbrose, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Yea, this has happened before Shaq..anybody ever heard of Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins?
- Lokix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Chocolate Thunder? Sounds like some bad-ass diarrhea.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5i didn't know you can eat veils... that can't be healthy :(
O U MEANT VEAL LOL MY BAD ^_^ - meatmcguffin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Why am i being blamed! It was Wuss that said it was old, i just replied to him.
I demand an apology in the form of cash. - Semitallsmalls, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4he could have poked someones eye out
- laplacian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4YES a great 76er: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darryl_Dawkins
"He broke two backboards in the 1979-80 season: one at Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium on November 13, 1979 (which he called "The Chocolate-Thunder-Flying, Robinzine-Crying, Teeth-Shaking, Glass-Breaking, Rump Roasting, Bun-Toasting, Wham-Bam-I-Am-Jam") and a second backboard 23 days later at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Because his dunks resulted in delays while teams went to find another backboard, the NBA eventually modified their basketball rims to make them collapsible in the event another superstar wanted to emulate Dawkins' dunks." - threemagic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6It's hard to win when your hoop is broken...
Thank you.. I'm here all week! Try the veil - TPrime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Kazaam!
- Xeth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Back in high school I got hit in the head once with a falling rim when a guy dunked on top of me - it made a nice gash on my face. Of course this is with a rusty old hoop...
- DidntYouHear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I love the camera guy who jumps out just to film the broken board.
- betterth, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7@Skyshock
I agree. I would hate to have the most successful sports video game franchise named after me. I just couldn't bear knowing that my namesake was on a product guaranteed to sell millions every single year to the same people who bought it last year, bearing a price tag of $50-$60.
It would hurt the whole time I took that royalty check to the bank.
Once you've made millions, than you can criticize. - vexingmodstwo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I believe this dunk caused the NBA to have the manufacturers of the basket apparatus redesign them so that they could withstand higher forces. Before this, no one had been able to exert enough force on the rims to make them collapse like that.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Also the first player to enter professional basketball out of high school
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2crap that ***** is dangerous. (even if it looks fun)
the idiot that set it up should get another job. - briandeitch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Didn't he collapse a goal when playing the Suns in Phoenix too?
- tdhurst, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Like Garnett? THAT'S pushing it.
- bakkouz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well surely he didn't break it becuase he has super human strength, obviously something was wrong with the post.
- ahsanfarhan22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Only known incident of this happening in the NBA."
its not the only time it happened. they showed someone else crashing the hoop thing on the 'best damn sports show period'. its someone from before i was born so i don't know his name, but shaq ain't the only one. - LucasKane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Shaq had unbelievable quickness for a big man when he was in shape
- R0rschach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I met Choclate Thunder before at the Eagles Training Camp, got a picture of him and me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I saw that game, I think it happened his rookie year. Anyway, the Magic were a great team back then. Shaq and Penny Hardaway were awesome to watch. Too bad they never won a championship.
- JaJangMyun, on 10/12/2007, -12/+13I'm gonna guess that's what he does to his wife in bed. Pure annihilation.
- TKn00b, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1BOOOOMSHAKALAKAAAAAA!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3@bashar129
Holy crap. Not only does he tear the rim and co. off the glass, but he does a back-flop. My god. All that weight from that height just slamming to the ground must have caused an earthquake. -
