What shot did the NCAA allegedly ban because Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s dominance during his college days?

Yes, the slam dunk was eliminated fromt he NCAA for about 10 years. Guys would elevate over the rim, but just have to drop the ball down. it was a slightly different game back then, with more of a premium on moving the ball and outside shooting (but there was no 3-point shot then, either.)

I am happy that they brought the dunk bank to college hoops, but I would like to see more players be able to play the complete game as well.

"In Mount's day, dunking wasn't a threat; dunking wasn't even allowed.

The NCAA banned it in 1967, in preparation for the Lew Alcindor era

at UCLA. The decision forced Alcindor - he now is known as Kareem

Abdul-Jabbar - to develop the sky hook, perhaps the deadliest shot

ever seen from a big man. Bill Walton, his successor at UCLA,

compensated for the no-dunk rule with a nifty bank shot.

In the mid-1970s, though, the game took off in a new direction when

Julius Erving's soaring performance in a slam-dunk contest at the 1976

American Basketball Association All-Star Game in Denver galvanized the

next generation of hoops addicts. The NCAA overturned its dunking ban

in 1976-77, laying the groundwork for the modern game."

#1 he was not Karem abdul Jabbar back then.

He was Lew Al Cinder

#2 It's the dunk. I don't think it was because of him.

They also did it in Highschool when I was there.

It was pretty stupid having to drop it in once you got up there.

I never got the dunking call even though I did.

But I never got especially violent about it. Just did it to make sure it wasn't blocked.

Quite a few guys where I was lived above the rim.

Never saw a call. Knew the rule was there.
