History
Release
In the US, Sega of America, in conjunction with its then-advertising partner Leagas Delaney created a television advertisement for the game, parodying a 1996 advert from sportswear brand Nike. Nike's advert, developed in conjunction with Wieden + Kennedy and titled "Frozen Moment", showed various people watching NBA legend Michael Jordan perform a slam dunk in slow motion, as a means to sell Air Jordan XII footwear.
The NBA 2K2 advert copied the idea, albeit with entirely different footage and a more humerous tone, replacing the real-life NBA players with 3D polygonal models and scenes from the game. Displeased, Nike sued Sega of America in Februrary 2002[6]. Sega immediately pulled the ad, and the matter was settled out of court, with Sega donating $100,000 between the Boys & Girls Club in Portland, Oregon and Memphis, Tennessee (the homes of Nike's worldwide headquarters and main distribution centre, respectively).
