Nike has filed a lawsuit with Sega over the recently unveiled advertising campaign for NBA 2K2.

The suit complains that Sega`s new advert is almost identical to a famous 1980`s advert featuring Michael Jordan. The Sega advert does seem quite similar, although the counter argument is likely to be that there`s sufficient small differences. There is no specific value to the suit, but it does say "The amount in controversy exceeds $75,000".

I'd imagine the legal companies are licking their lips in anticipation.
