The video probably doesn't give justice the amount of force MJ had flying off the ground at the basket.]
Also these are the same backboards the NBA use to have, but changed later on. However during the 70s and much of the 80s these were the same kind.
Second this is the same backboard glass material that Chocolate Thunder or also known as Darryl Dawkins shattered in an NBA game. So you realize there has been many great dunkers, and powerful dunkers who have thrown it down quite hard on these same kind of rims/backboards, but never broke the glass. Some guys have obviously like Shaq, Dawkins, and some College players as well, and now with proof also Michael Jordan.
I wouldn't call what was as good as it got in it's day cheap. It's just very rare for any player to break a backboard.
