France's Guerschon Yabusele posterizes LeBron James in Olympic gold medal game

Team USA and France are currently battling it out for the gold medal in men’s basketball. And France’s Guerschon Yabusele did not disappoint with an unforgettable highlight. He went baseline and posterized LeBron James of USA, knocking him to the ground with the thunderous jam.

Yabusele put together an impressive first half, stuffing the stat sheet with 15 points for France on 5 of 10 shooting from the field. USA led France 49-41 at the end of the first half, and that was thanks in large part to the run they went on after Yabusele’s posterization of James. Devin Booker also stuffed the stat sheet with 13 points on 5 of 7 shooting from the field for Team USA.

France was very cold from outside in the first half, connecting on just 3 of 16 shots (18.8%) from beyond-the-arc. USA drilled 9 of 20 shots (45.0%) from downtown in the first half. France had 26 points in the paint in the first half and USA had 20 points in the paint.

In the third quarter, USA opened up their lead to 14 points (61-47) with just under seven minutes left to play. Stephen Curry drilled a wide open three-pointer.

France’s Victor Wembanyama did not disappoint on Saturday night, dropping 20 points midway through the third quarter. Before Saturday night, he’d been averaging 13.8 points per game for the French team in the Olympics.
