Kevin Quiambao isn’t just making headlines with his skill—this time, he made one with pure power.

The Goyang Sono Skygunners forward gave fans a glimpse of raw dominance during a team practice in Taiwan when he shattered the backboard with a thunderous two-handed dunk. The rare moment, caught on video by Goldiluck Conol, instantly went viral as teammates and coaches looked on in disbelief at the cracked glass.

True to form, Quiambao kept things lighthearted after the spectacle. On Instagram, the two-time UAAP Most Valuable Player jokingly apologized: “My bad, Taiwan.” In another post, he quipped: “Ngayon alam ko na feeling maging Shaquille O’Neal,” referencing the NBA Hall of Famer notorious for destroying rims and backboards during his prime years.

For fans who have followed his rise, this moment feels symbolic. Quiambao has long been celebrated for his versatility, basketball IQ, and smooth offensive game. But this latest feat showed that when he wants to, he can unleash sheer force that few defenders—or backboards—can withstand.

The timing couldn’t be better either. After making waves in the UAAP with De La Salle, where he cemented his status as one of the most dominant collegiate players in recent history, Quiambao is now carving out his professional path overseas. His presence in Korea’s Goyang Sono Skygunners has already given Filipino fans plenty to cheer about, and now he’s delivering viral-worthy highlights in Taiwan before the season even tips off.

Beyond the humor and the broken glass, moments like these also serve as reminders of Quiambao’s potential ceiling. At just 23 years old, the forward possesses a unique blend of skill, size, and flair that continues to draw comparisons to both past legends and modern-day stars. And now, he’s got a “Shaq moment” to add to his resume.

Whether it’s orchestrating plays, scoring in the clutch, or literally breaking through barriers, Quiambao has shown he’s more than capable of giving fans something to talk about. And in Taiwan, he proved once again: when you mix his finesse with power, you’d better make sure the backboard is reinforced.
