In the final game against France, LeBron was on the receiving end of a powerful dunk by French forward Guerschon Yabusele .  The dunk went viral and is now one of the most memorable plays of the tournament—but for all the wrong reasons if you’re LeBron.

The video perfectly matches the real-life play, and it’s been getting a lot of attention online. pic.twitter.com/SxPfBV5DgR — Dom2K 🎅 (@Dom_2k) August 22, 2024 Yabusele, who used to play for the Boston Celtics, recently signed with the Philadelphia 76ers .

Yabusele recently made headlines by helping France win a silver medal at the Olympics. Standing at 6-foot-8 and weighing 260 pounds, Yabusele was originally drafted by the Boston Celtics in 2016.

During the Olympics, Yabusele had standout performances, scoring 22, 17, and 20 points against Canada, Germany, and the United States. His strong play caught the attention of the 76ers, who could use more depth at the power forward position.

Yabusele, who was the No. 16 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, has been playing for Real Madrid since 2019. However, after a strong performance at the Olympics, where he averaged 14 points per game and even dunked on LeBron James , Yabusele is eager for another chance in the NBA. He expressed his desire on Twitter, saying, "Been waiting for a 2nd chance... I'm ready." But there's a catch—Yabusele is still under contract with Real Madrid for one more season. To leave, he would need to pay a $2.5 million buyout. Photo: Guerschon Yabusele (Instagram) This buyout is a significant hurdle. NBA teams can only contribute $850,000 towards an international player's buyout, leaving Yabusele to cover the remaining $1.65 million himself. For a player who has been out of the NBA for a few years, this is a big financial risk. Despi...
