Jamal Murray stole my move. He STOLE my MOVE! That was my move, and he stole it!
Check out 1:00 of this video. Pretty nifty, right? Right! It is very nifty! A nice left-handed drive to the basket with a slice behind-the-back dribble back between the legs to confuse the defender. Anyone who watches it should be impressed.
Only problem is, it’s my move. I invented it, and I get to decide who uses it. It’s not like I charge them or anything, I just want credit for the move that I came up with. I patented this thing for a reason, and that reason wasn’t so that NBA players could use it without first getting my permission. Hours upon countless hours of work on the courts, perfecting the move, refining it, making it presentable to a skeptical viewing public. And Murray comes in and just does it, without even giving me credit?
If he had shouted “THANKS DOWNTOBUCK FOR THIS SWEET MOVE THAT YOU HAVE BESTOWED UPON US” as he did the move, that would be one thing. I never gave him permission, but at least he would have acknowledged that I was the true owner of the move. But no. He wants you to believe that the move he did was a move of his own creation.
I have issued a DCMA takedown notice on Jamal Murray until he confesses that he stole the move. He won’t be seeing the court until wrongs have been righted.
