Fun fact: dunking was actually illegal in NCAA basketball for a period during the late 60s and early 70s due to the huge advantage one player enjoyed by employing it on all the tiny defenders who tried to block him. That player’s name was Lew Alcindor, aka Kareem Abdul Jabbar, future Hall of Fame center for the Lakers. Dunking didn’t become a true art form until the late 70s, though, when the flashy, fast-paced style of the ABA was adopted by NBA players after their merger. Julius Erving, aka Dr. J, first popularized windmill dunks, paving the way for later greats such as Clyde Drexler, Dominque Dawkins, Michael Jordan, Shawn Kemp, Vince Carter, Dwight Howard and many, many more.
