It will be hard for Jusuf Nurkic to ever recover from this LeBron James poster dunk

LeBron James has thrown down hundreds of incredible dunks over his 15-year NBA career, but a dunk from Thursday night’s Cavs-Blazers has to be one of his best. And he crushed a man’s soul in the process.

That — now shell of a — man is Portland seven-footer Jusuf Nurkic, the victim of this vicious posterizer from King James.

That may have sent Nurkic into retirement.

And it’s such a perfect dunk to show off LeBron’s otherworldly power and athleticism. A 33-year-old should not be able to do that.
