Watch: DeAndre Jordan dunked so hard he dislodged the rim
DeAndre Jordan threw down a highly difficult alley-oop during the Clippers’ meeting with the Warriors on Saturday, but that’s nothing new. In fact, he treats the crowd to so many flushes each game that dunks like this have become expected. His dunk on Saturday was a bit unusual, though, because it actually dislodged the rim.
As Jordan’s 6'11", 265-pound frame pulled down on the rim, it left the cylinder slightly twisted.

It wasn’t quite Shaq pulling down the entire basket, but it was impressive nonetheless.
