Darryl Dawkins, whose backboard-shattering dunks earned him the moniker ''Chocolate Thunder'' and helped pave the way for breakaway rims, has died. The Lehigh County, Pennsylvania coroner's office said Dawkins died Thursday morning at a hospital. Dawkins spent parts of 14 seasons in the NBA with Philadelphia, New Jersey, Utah and Detroit.
