Dunkin' Donuts ...
Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul Jabbar) probably caused the NCAA and the NFHS to ban dunking in the 1960s, seemingly to prevent injury and equipment damage. In the mid 1970's dunking in college and high school games was made legal again. Shattered backboards by Darryl Dawkins in the 1980's and broken backboard supports by Shaquille O'Neal in the 1990s led to breakaway rims and backboard support specifications in NFHS high school games.
Is it time to ease up on the dunking rules again, or do thousands of bent and broken rims on playground courts all over America tell us to do so would be foolish?
