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{{intref|Press release: 2002-02-07: Nike Files Lawsuit Against Sega of America; Suit Seeks an Injunction and Damages for Sega's Copyright Infringement Of Nike's Famous Frozen Moment Ad}}. 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).

Nike v. Sega

Main article: Nike v. Sega.

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[16]. 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).
