The first dunk ever
Most folks know that dunking was discouraged for many years and was even illegal in the college game at one time. But how far back do dunks go?
Believe it or not, about 90 years.
A pro named Jack Inglis, who played from 1907 to 1916 if I remember correctly, supposedly won a game against the original Celtics by grabbing the rim and pulling himself high enough to take a pass and throw down the winning basket. Not a classic alley-oop, sure, but any guy with enough athletic ability to do all that probably had pretty good hops.
Any other dunking stories out there?
