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.
Lew Alcindor, who later changed his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, signed his first contract with the Milwaukee Bucks in 1969 for $1.4 million over five years. This deal was groundbreaking at the time, making him one of the highest-paid players in the NBA. Alcindor's arrival significantly raised the profile of the league and helped the Bucks secure their first championship in 1971.
