Harlem Globetrotters hooper Angelo Sharpless did his best Shaquille O'Neal impersonation, shattering a backboard after throwing down a vicious dunk!
impersonation over the weekend ... shattering a backboard after throwing down a monster dunk, and the wild moment was caught on video!
In the video, posted by Sharpless on social media, Angelo receives an outlet pass on a fast break, takes a few dribbles ... and blasts off, jumping from the low post area, nearly cocking the ball back to his head, and delivering an absolute hammer of a dunk. The aftermath of the damage was telling -- the backboard's glass was shattered, and the rim was broken, as the crowd watched in disbelief.

Sharpless, a 6-foot-4 forward from Plymouth, NC, played his college ball at Elizabeth City State University ... and says he was inspired by Hall of Famer
