What did O 'Neill do after he smashed the backboard?

In the 1993 away game against the Suns, shaquille o'neal smashed the opponent's backboard with a powerful dunk, but he was too late to be happy, because it was followed by a decrease in the timer. As can be seen from the picture below, the NBA timer is very heavy. Shaquille o'neal instinctively dodged, was hit in the back and head, and had to run back to deal with it. Fortunately, he used his back to relieve most of the impact and was hit in the head.

In fact, shaquille O 'Neill didn't intentionally hit the backboard. The peak was his weight 147kg, and his jumping ability and explosive power were good. At that time, the impact of the slam dunk was several times his weight, which was too much for ordinary rebounds, so O 'Neill smashed the rebounds several times in a row, and finally the NBA had to make restrictions, not allowing players to dunk and hang on the basket. Therefore, it is rare to see athletes dunk and hang them on the basket.

Of course, there is a limit, provided that the players keep their balance after dunking, otherwise many players dunk in sports, and if they don't take the opportunity to catch the basket, they are likely to fall and get injured. So this still can't provide the greatest security for players. Until later, the NBA made some strengthening strategies. In order to ensure the normal game, the materials of the basket, backboard and basketball stand have been reinforced, and a set of spare basketball stands has been specially prepared.

Shaquille o'neal is a witness of the times. He played against Michael Jordan and was the strongest of the four centers. He also led the Lakers to win three consecutive championships and established the Lakers dynasty. So after shaquille o'neal retired, the Lakers specially built a statue for him, and the picture on the statue was the moment when he hit the rebound.
