I remember back in the day, they used glass and it could break if someone threw it down hard enough.

Now they use a different material I guess. Is it possible to break the new material they use in the NBA today?

No, they invented the breakaway rim.

Breakaway rim doesn't completely fix it. I've saw backboards shatter with a breakaway rim, in person..

I'm guessing a fail. He was explosive but doesn't have the power to break a new backboard..

I'm not sure it's not possible anymore, I doubt arenas keep backboards around long enough to find one with enough wear and tear on it to shatter..

It wasn't just him, they let him dunk and they tried it with an old wood grand piano as well and it wouldn't shatter. Its made to NOT shatter the glass now, just watch the video.

I don't think so. They seem to have made the rims especially sturdy.
