Candace Parker Naperville Central High School in Illinois Now with the Lady Vols is said to be the first high school player to Dunk in a game. Actually won a slam dunk contest put on by Nike or Rebok or McDonalds not sure who against the boys.
She won because she was a girl dunking, not because her dunks were better than the guys'. Of course, she also won because the boys actually missed some harder dunks rather than making some easier ones.
Personally...I don't care if she won because she had purple shoes. She won a slam dunk competition against males. If the guys were too stupid to adjusting their strategy and do what it took to win the competition by attempting dunks they could actually make then they have another reason to be ashamed of their performance.

<<< typed by a white guy that has never been able to dunk on a basket higher than 7 feet...poster child for "White Men Can't Jump" >>>
