I insist that the NBA drop the term “SLAM DUNK”. I live in a power chair and am insulted, nay dissed, when the term is used as I can not do a slam dunk.

Of course you're making an excellent point and in fact I think that all activities, sporting or otherwise, which cannot be equally enjoyed by all, including the disabled, should be banned.

Here's a contact page for the NBA; I'm sure that they would be delighted to hear from you particularly if you cite this very progressive British Council as the impetus for your request:
