FameRank: 4

"Darryl Dawkins" is a retired American professional basketball player, most noted for his days with the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets, although he also played briefly for the Detroit Pistons and Utah Jazz late in his career. His nickname, ""Chocolate Thunder"", was bestowed upon him by Stevie Wonder. He was known for his powerful dunks, which notably led to the NBA adopting breakaway rims due to him shattering the backboard on two occasions in 1979.

None of these guys can break the backboard, right now.

It's great to see new young guys coming through with imagination, creativity that always keeps the dunk alive.

I can't dunk as often as I used to, but I promise to give you one.
