Re: Former NBA great Darryl 'Chocolate Thunder' Dawkins dies of heart attack
Wow. He's the only guy I remember breaking backboards, though there's been others, maybe just not as consistently/dramatically, . One of the few guys I can think of that went to the pro's straight out of high school also. Came to the Pistons in the twilight of his career, didn't play much but was a veteran presence in the "Bad Boy" era & helped Detroit win an NBA Championship.
It says a lot when they have to upgrade the equipment because of your game. RIP |
