    Default Legendary dunker Darryl Dawkins dies

    Darryl Dawkins, whose backboard-shattering dunks earned him the moniker "Chocolate Thunder" and helped pave the way for breakaway rims, has died. He was 58.

    "It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beloved husband and father, Darryl Dawkins, who succumbed today to a heart attack," Dawkins' family said in a statement Thursday. "Darryl touched the hearts and spirits of so many with his big smile and personality, ferocious dunks, but more than anything, his huge, loving heart."

    The Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, coroner's office said Dawkins died Thursday morning at a hospital. An autopsy was scheduled for Friday.

    Noooo, not Chocolate Thunder. Destroyer of backboards. What a monster.
