Suns forced to "Shaq-proof" their hoops

The Suns' signing of Shaquille O'Neal has brought about an unexpected change in the equipment the team is using for their practices. It seems that the players on the team are scared of being underneath one of their practice hoops and having this happen...



After watching a few of Shaq’s thunderous dunks during a personal workout Sunday and in practice Monday, some of his new teammates have strongly requested that the team reinforce the apparatus currently supporting the two baskets at the team’s practice court.

Can you really blame them?

I mean we all know the damage a basketball hoop can cause.
