It is becoming more and more rare to see a backboard completely shatter during a basketball game. In the days of Shaquille O’Neal, you would see a couple but it just isn’t common. Especially with technology being where it is, there aren’t any shattering dunks anymore.
When they do happen, they are a sight to see.
Brandon Weatherspoon, who is the younger brother of Nick and Quinndary, both of whom play at Mississippi State, broke a backboard. Brandon takes the ball on the fast break and slams it home with two hands.

So yeah. @__bloading__ decided to take the rim with him. He said @IAM_QUINN11 and @Nick_Gotti0 have never done it. Score one for the youngest Weatherspoon brother. pic.twitter.com/nDzJCjBcKx

The youngest Weatherspoon has offers to play at Georgetown, Tennessee and at his brother’s school Mississippi State. Brandon is only a junior and if he continues to make plays like he did on January 23, he has a chance to be a great player.
