The original post was referring to '87 Kareem, not the '71 version. Even then, it's a fair question and the answer is yes, he did dunk a lot back then (in '71). For a small look, starting at 0:32:



In addition, 40 year old Kareem was still definitely dunking. I mean, he was a long 7'2''. He hardly had to jump.
