[citation needed] Technology has evolved to adapt to the increased strength and weight of players to withstand the force of such dunks, such as the breakaway rim (introduced to the NBA in 1981) changes to the material used for the backboards, and strengthening of the goal standards themselves. The invention by Arthur Ehrat to create the breakaway rim with a spring on it led to the return of the dunk in college basketball. [24] All-star power forward Gus Johnson of the Baltimore Bullets was the first of the famous backboard breakers in the NBA, shattering three during his career in the 1960s and early 1970s. [25][b] Luke Jackson also shattered a backboard in 1968. [26] In the ABA, Charlie Hentz broke two backboards in the same game on 6 November 1970 resulting in the game being called. [27][c] The NBA has made shattering the backboard a technical foul, although it will not count towards a player's count of seven that can draw a suspension, or two towards ejection from a game, and it counts towards a player's count of six personal fouls. This has assisted in deterring this action, as it can cost the team points.

[28] Erving defeated Thompson in the championship round, after leaping from the free-throw line. The other participants were Artis Gilmore, George Gervin, and Larry Kenon. The NBA held its first Slam Dunk Contest as a one-off, season-long event similar to NBA Horse event held the following season."24th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize Nominees Announced".
