YouTubes!

Basketball is about to start up again....

Multiple announcers in this video make the dated reference to posters, as in the defender got dunked on so bad he will appear in a poster looking foolish. The term "poster-ize" came about sometime in the early 90s and has remained a stale part of the lexicon like a petrified pizza crust hidden in the back of a refrigerator. As much as I love thinking about Michael Cooper and his knee high white socks helplessly watching Michael Jordan fly through the air, the fact remains: Michael Cooper is now 50 years old. "Poster-ize" needs retiring, especially considering the NBA is obsessed with being hip and street. When are these fucks gonna start saying "Youtubes!" whenever someone gets dunked on. You don't have to come from the streets to make this shit up. It's Youtube.
