When was the first dunk in an NBA game?
Hi andi41-ga:
What a great question!
The NBA was formed in 1949 by the merging of the Basketball
Association of America and the National Basketball League.
The first recorded dunk was in 1946 by Bob Kurland, a 7-foot center
who played for Oklahoma State of the NCAA. One would assume that after
he "invented" dunking, that dunking would have proliferated by 1949
and that the "first dunk" then would probably have occured in the
first couple of games.
See more details here on recorded firsts in basketball:
