The climax of the men’s Olympic basketball tournament in Paris 2024 unfolded with a resounding victory for the United States over the French team (98-87). Guerschon Yabusele’s legendary performance was the highlight, culminating in a breathtaking poster-dunk over LeBron James in the final seconds of the second quarter. The eruption from the Bercy crowd was deafening.
“It’s an amazing act, yes, but I’m very humble,” Yabusele said in the mixed area, a silver medal around his neck. “When I see him, I tell myself, ‘either I dunk or he ignores me. I have no choice.’” He added, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. “In those moments, you don’t think. When I saw the ignition and I put it on anyway, it gave us all a glow, it really came.”
This remarkable feat echoes another legendary dunk in Olympic history: Vince Carter’s iconic leap over Frenchman Fred Weis during the Sydney Olympics in 2000. This time, the poster is true. French. A poetic revenge.
