It has and always will be legal to dunk from the free throw line. No one has ever attempted to do so in a non NBA dunk contest, as the odds of doing so with about 7 people in the way is very unlikely. Most people get a head start, as well, and there is little chance of that happening in an NBA game.
no he was just standig at the line waiting until the buzzer went off
It can be a dunk, lay up, or midrange shot.

One of Michael Jordan's most iconic dunks is his free-throw line dunk during the 1988 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Leaping from the free-throw line, he soared through the air, extending his arm to the rim, which showcased his incredible athleticism and style. This dunk not only won him the contest but also solidified his legacy as one of the greatest dunkers in basketball history. The sheer combination of power, grace, and creativity makes it a standout moment in his career.
