Dunks causing basketball hoops to break isn’t exactly a new thing. What is a little different about what happened in Friday night’s game between Carver and Ramsay, a pair of high school basketball programs based out of Alabama, is what happened when Ramsay’s KeShawn Murphy threw down a little too hard.
Murphy, a three-star power forward recruit who will head to Mississippi State next year, got thrown an alley-oop and finished over a defender to put Ramsay up, 61-44. The issue was that it took him a second to let go of the rim, presumably because a Carver player was standing right under it, and as a result, he pulled the entire hoop down. It wasn’t a rim being ripped off and the backboard shattering, but rather, the entire apparatus came swinging down and caused a bit of a panic.
