I'm sure it's all about the equipment.

If dunking is so dangerous, why is it allowed during games? And I've seen all these injuries (and more) which were not the result of attempted dunks. Dunking is a part of the game, and players should be allowed to practice that part of the game during warm-ups. That said, I understand that dunking wears the rim down and you don't want your rim failing 2 minutes before game time.
College players, who don't get hurt trying to dunk, aren't allowed to dunk during pregame to protect the rims.
One more bit of sarcasm: I love this chat board. [/B]

but, I gotta admit, the wear and tear on the rim thing had a lot more sway when there were single fized rims - that's what got damaged, the rims got bent.
