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.[2] The term was originated from Julius Erving, whose high-flying style of play inspired the term. Posterized is also used infrequently to describe similar events in other sports,[3] and it has made its way into business writing.[4]
