Look again. The backboard glass is the same, but since the glass on this Schelde backboard is cut out where the rim attaches to the steel beam, dunking put zero stress on the glass and it will not break? That's why the 6000 pounds of force from the piano did not break the glass.

@Cheema0113 Not this type. If he could break the rim right off the unit, the glass would not break. This is a Schelde backboard, with no glass between the rim and the steel beam that the rim is bolted too, so the glass just stays unharmed.

@NJDEVILS2216

6000 pounds of force will bend or break the steel. That's exactly what happened.

@LilHulk08

He's played on Schelde backstops for years, and didn't break them.

Look again. On this Schelde backboard even if the rim is broken right off, the backboards stays intact!

@TranswarpXL

But that was NOT on the Schelde backboard, when never breaks from a dunk, since there is NO GLASS between the rim and the stanchion itself.

@x77poison77x

That was not a Schelde backstop. He played on Schelde backstops in college at LSU and again with the Miami Heat, but never broke one.

@gjfwang

That was not a Schelde backstop that he broke, but rather a BPI backstop! No Schelde backstop has broken during competition, and no backboard has ever broken on a Schelde unit.
