Posterized

Posterized is North American slang,[1] derived from an action in the game of basketball in which the offensive player performs a slam dunk over a defending player, in a play that is spectacular and athletic enough to warrant reproduction in a printed poster.

Posterized is also used infrequently to describe similar events in other sports,[3] and it has made its way into business writing.

[4] One of the most famous examples of a player being "posterized" occurred during the 2000 Summer Olympics.

6-foot-6 Vince Carter, playing for Team USA, dunked over 7-foot-2 Frédéric Weis of France.

The play was dubbed the "dunk of death".
