Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele seems to be creating a highlight reel of ferocious poster dunks. During their game against the Portland Trail Blazers game on Monday, Yabusele got free for a fast-break opportunity. Blazers forward Deni Avdija tried to stop him.

Guerschon Yabusele became viral for posterizing LeBron James at the Paris Olympics

Guerschon Yabusele suited up for Les Bleus in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Yabusele and the French national squad faced LeBron James and Team USA in the gold medal game. While the U.S. ended up taking home the gold, Yabusele came away with a memory that will be etched in the annals of basketball history forever.

With over two minutes left in the second quarter, Yabusele found himself getting past Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker on a hand-off pass. Yabusele was headed to the rim with a full head of steam, but James recognized the play.

The four-time NBA champion positioned himself just a step past the restricted area. However, instead of meeting the French forward in the air to contest the shot, James opted to draw a charge.

Regardless of James' positioning, Yabusele already had his eyes set on the basket. He jumped over LeBron James and threw it down for the poster dunk.
