Throughout the Paris Olympics, France's Guerschon Yabusele has received "MVP" chants from the home crowd.
Yabusele made sure to turn in an MVP-level play during the gold medal game.
Late in the first half, Yabusele completed a driving dunk over four-time NBA MVP LeBron James, who was whistled for a foul as he attempted to draw a charge on the French forward.
As James is rarely on the receiving end on such highlight plays, the dunk requires a second —and third — look.
Take a look at the replay of Yabusele's vicious dunk in all of its glory.

Yabusele, who has spent the past few seasons playing for Spanish club Real Madrid, is a former first-round pick of the Celtics and spent two seasons playing in the NBA.
The play resulted in two of Yabusele's loudest points in a 15-point first half. And while France trailed at the half, things would be much worse without his contributions.
