Chima Moneke captured the sentiment with his post, stating, "Yabusele, what the fuck did you just do?" Meanwhile, Yabusele's former Real Madrid teammates, Vincent Poirier and Walter Tavares, expressed their amazement by simply posting his name.

The Paris 2024 Olympics final has delivered numerous memorable moments, but Yabusele's posterizing dunk on one of the greatest players of all time stands out as a defining highlight.
