You know, for someone who snuck chances in his second grade class to write a Michael Jordan "biography" in his Mead Notebook back in the spring of 1988, as someone who has poured over just about every other MJ bio in the years since, and as a former Cook County resident, I can't believe that I've never seen this before:

If you didn't watch long enough to see the backboard break, look at this:

How tough must it be to break the glass on a backboard with one hand? Darvin Ham, Darryl Dawkins - each of those guys tore it down with two hands. Jerome Lang is the only one I can think of that pulled it off with one fell swoop.
