posterized
Dunked on spectacularly
Posterized describes a basketball player who has been dunked on so emphatically that the moment could be frozen as a poster—the dunker soaring triumphantly, the defender caught helplessly in the frame: He got posterized by LeBron.
The term has spread beyond basketball to describe any humiliating defeat captured visually.
In image editing, posterized refers to reducing color gradations to create a flat, poster-like effect.
