A slang term depicting a play in basketball. In said play, a player dunks the ball over top or in front of another player,
making a play so picturesque that it may appear on a poster, hence the term, posterized.
Some players may have their own versions of this, such as Greg Ostertag of the
Sacramento Kings. When someone is 'posterized' by Ostertag, they are 'Osterized'. This pay is known as 'dirty' and 'ugly' and is
generally unwanted throughout the NBA.
