The dunk was banned from 1967 to 1976 in college basketball, according to Wikipedia.org. I'm not sure it was ever banned in pro basketball, except that the players used to just lay it up rather than dunking in fear of retribution (in the form of hard fouls), if I remember correctly.
Bob Kurland, a player for Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State) from 1942 through 46 is reported to be the first player to dunk in games. A Denver newspaper reported his first "duffer shot" in 1945. It was later banned, and then reinstated in the 1970s.
