          After running a well-executed offensive set, a cutter receives the ball as he jets down the middle of the lane, where he meets a defender at the rim. "Oohs" and "aahs" ensue, or silence fills the arena.

          The sound of the rim-rattling or the whistle from a referee signaling an and-1 only make the play worse for the posterized defender. Teammates jumping up and holding each other back on the bench boost the dunker's ego further.

          A poster jam can drastically change the game.

          There has been no shortage of posters throughout the 2024 NBA playoffs, the most recent from Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner in Game 6 against the New York Knicks.

          Here's a look at the best poster dunks of each series during this year's postseason.
