Before Chuck Connors made his mark as "The Rifleman" on television, he already played a starring role on the Basketball court. Before the first home game of the Boston Celtics, Connors makes history: He is the first player to shatter a backboard in the NBA (though it was called the Basketball Association of American until 1949).
