OK i normally do not answer my own question but after seeing people time after time nameing Shaq as the FIRST person to brake the backboard in a NBA game i had to ... SO HERE IT IS ....

Although Daryl Dawkins made it famous, lots of trivia sites and fan sites say the first backboard (a wooden one) broken in the NBA was by none other than Chuck Connors, who later went on to star as TV's Rifleman

  1. However, the first NBA player to shatter a backboard, Chuck Connors(who would become far more famous as an actor), did not do so with a dunk. When playing for the Boston Celtics in 1946, Connors took a set shot during pregame warmups, hitting the front of the rim.
