Dunking
***********
"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."

The dunk, not the hook. The dunk was banned in NCAA basketball for a period of time because of Lew Alcindor.

The "Sky - Hook" was Lou Alcindor's/ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's banned shot. It differed from the traditional hook shot because of his proximity to the basket and the fact that it was completely undefensible.
