UMass Lowell player misses dunk, shatters backboard
UMass Lowell was playing a Division III school, Wheelock, on Tuesday. Not the game you would expect to read about.
Then, Dontavious Smith went into action. The 6-foot-8, 195-pound redshirt freshman headed down the court for a slam dunk
Unfortunately, he didn't connect on the slam, and he managed to take out --- as in shatter -- the backboard in the process.
Check out Smith's work.
