Alvan Adams shares memories of Shaq's backboard-shattering dunk

Alvan Adams reminisced about Shaquille O'Neal's famous dunk that shattered a backboard during a 1993 game at America West Arena. At a recent event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Suns NBA Finals team, Adams relayed his immediate thought of being fired after the incident. During the game on February 7, O'Neal's dunk collapsed the backboard, startling fans and prompting scrutiny on the stanchion Adams had purchased for the arena. The Suns honored players from the 1976 squad during halftime of their game against the Los Angeles Clippers on November 10, which Phoenix won 133-110.
