The NBA gives credit for the first dunk to George Mikan of the Minneapolis Lakers in 1961. The dunk has always been a legal shot in the NBA. However, College Basketball banned the dunk from 1967-1976.

Dunking has never been banned in the NBA. Dunking was banned in college ball between 1967-1976. It was thought that the ban was aimed at Lou Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) to keep him from completely dominating the game. In interviews, John Wooden discounted this saying that the NCAA outlawed the dunk due to safety concerns from players hanging on rims and breaking backboards.
