Not with the current backboards. He would have to pull down the whole damn basket (which I would not be surprised if he could). Look for him when he makes the olympic roster and those european backboards are much stiffer. Sabas did over in Europe durin his time so I would say sure for Oden.

Yeah probably possible in europe. I think MJ did one there even
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caNVWoHLejEPretty sure that's some european place? Hope it showers like that as well when Oden does it.

Oden will stop world hunger, find a cure for cancer, single-handedly lower gas prices to $1 per gallon, then he will think about breaking a few backboards.

No he wont break any backboards.
The only thing he might come
close in doing is ripping a net.. .

Oh yeah I do believe he could do it Shaq style (

I don't think you can break NBA backboards anymore. You'd have to weigh 500 pounds.
And it's probably best they started using safety glass. It looks like a good way to lose an eye, especially if you wind up falling on your back when the rim comes off.

Rumor I heard is he already broke a rim during his rehab.

Nah, breaking a backboard is wasteful. Oden wouldn't do that.
