Video: Guerschon Yabusele Slams Poster Dunk on LeBron James; Fans React in Disbelief

Julia StumbaughAug 10, 2024

France's Guerschon Yabusele chose a good time for his best dunk of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Yabusele put Team USA's LeBron James on a poster to bring France within five points of the defending champions during the second quarter of Saturday's gold medal game.

Yabusele's slam left both James and basketball fans watching from home stunned.

Team USA led France 49-41 at the end of the first half after Yabusele and the home team briefly took the lead in the second quarter.

The dunk reminded fans of Vince Carter's infamous dunk at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, which he achieved over 7-foot-2 Frederic Weis of France.

The dunk brought NBA fans' attention to Yabusele, a former first-round pick by the Boston Celtics who played 74 games for the franchise between 2017 and 2019.

He has since played for professional leagues in China, France and Spain, but some fans expressed interest in now seeing him return to the Association.

This dunk may have been his most memorable of the Games, but it wasn't the first time Yabusele has been key to France's title hopes.

He contributed 22 points and five rebounds to the team's quarterfinal upset of Canada, then added 17 points and seven rebounds in a semifinal victory over Germany.

Yabusele was also a member of France's roster when the team earned a silver medal after playing the United States in the final of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
