Who was the first to dunk a basketball?

Answer 1

While it remains unclear as to who was the initial player to breakout the "dunk" it has now evolved as a huge part of the game. The dunk is certainly a crowd favorite with Slam Dunk Showdown's and contests and is constantly being remodeled and becoming more creative over the years. According to the related Sports Illustrated link, "Not even the staff at the Basketball Hall of Fame is sure who made the first dunk in organized play. What is known is that the shot has been around nearly as long as the game itself (that means since the 1890's) and that in the 1940's Oklahoma A&M's 6'10" center Bob Kurland became the first college player to regularly use the dunk."
