The backboard.
Chuck Connors in 1946 playing for the Boston Celtics. When playing for the Boston Celtics in 1946, Connors took a set shot during pregame warm-ups, hitting the front of the rim. Because an arena worker had failed to place a protective piece between the rim and backboard, the backboard shattered.
The backboard is from plexiglass or glass.

6" . A STANDARD RECTANGULAR BACKBOARD IS 42" HIGH. THE TOP OF RIM IS 36" FROM THE TOP OF BACKBOARD, SO THAT LEAVES 6" FROM THE BOTTOM OF BACKBOARD TO TOP OF RIM.
The basketball backboard is there to show ppl where to shot the ball to get it in.
on the backboard above the rim
The first team to use a glass backboard was the Indiana Hoosiers men's team in 1917. The glass plate was made by a company in Bloomington and was 1 1/2 inches thick.
The easiest way to fix a backboard that a guy paid to build and he did it wrong, is to remove the Spalding basketball hoop from the backboard. You can then attach it to a new backboard, that is not tilted forward, and you won't have to be sick and tired of a bad backboard anymore.
