According to the Suns’ official press release, this is the first NBA 2K game ever called on the radio.

Solid Oak Sketches, which claimed to own copyrights to tattoo designs featured on the bodies of NBA stars LeBron James, Kenyon Martin and Eric Bledsoe, filed its lawsuit back in early 2016. The plaintiff targeted video game publisher Take-Two Interactive over allegedly unauthorized reproductions of those tattoo designs in the NBA 2K franchise. Solid Oak was able to get past a motion to dismiss, which led to discovery and even a declaration by James himself where the NBA icon stated, “I always thought that I had the right to license what I look like to other people for various merchandise, television appearances, and other types of creative works, like video games.”

Take-Two has just beaten the lawsuit — and won big enough to potentially resolve questions that have been circulating in legal circles ever since one tattoo artist once sued and settled with Warner Bros. over The Hangover Part II over a reproduction of Mike Tyson’s face tattoo. In fact, Thursday’s opinion comes just a week after a judge in a separate case refused to end a tattoo copyright lawsuit against WWE.

The video game maker had an implied license to use the tattoos through its agreements with the NBA, which itself had a deal with the players. Finally, the judge gives Take-Two (represented by Kirland & Ellis attorney Dale Cendali) the message that it wished to convey to others, namely by granting a counterclaim seeking a declaration that their use of tattoos in a video game constituted fair use.

“Oh my gosh,” Phoenix Suns forward Frank Kaminsky shouted, “I’m trash!” Lucky for Suns fans, he wasn’t talking about his on-the-court prowess. There were moments Monday that Kaminsky wasn’t happy with his NBA 2K20 play, but his Phoenix Suns kept it competitive against Brian Bowen II’s Indiana Pacers, with Indiana edging out the win 93-87.
