Best Answer

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.
