LeBron James is still one of the best basketball players on the planet, but don't tell that to French forward Guerschon Yabusele. 

Yabusele completed the incredibly difficult task of putting James on a poster on Saturday with this breathtaking dunk during the 2024 Paris Olympics gold medal game for men's basketball.

James had been having a stellar game to that point for Team USA, but the Yabusele dunk absolutely blew the roof off the arena and probably took the wind out of James' sails for just a moment. 

The former Boston Celtics first-round pick hasn't played in the NBA in quite some time, but he absolute put down an NBA-worthy highlight on the global stage against one of the best to ever do it. That's pretty dang impressive.
