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.
