Michael Jordan, believe it or not, keeps on winning. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday announced it will not rule on a copyright dispute between Nike and a veteran photographer who snapped a well-known photo of the NBA legend that was subsequently used as the inspiration for the “Jumpman” logo, allowing lower-court rulings in favor of the athletic apparel giant to stand.

In 1984, photographer Jacobus Rentmeester took a photo of Jordan for Life magazine while the University of North Carolina guard, relatively unknown to a national audience at the time, was preparing to play for Team USA. The photo was included in a series profiling “American Excellence” leading up to the 1984 Olympics, and included more prominent athletes like Carl Lewis. Rentmeester's photo features Jordan, wearing U.S. Olympic garb, with legs splayed and palming a basketball in his left, reaching forward to finish an impossibly-long dunk while airborne, backdropped by a gleaming sun and hoop in the picture's left corner.

About three years later, Nike unveiled the now-iconic image of Jordan in a strikingly similar pose to the one he struck in Rentmeester's original photograph. Instead of donning Olympic apparel and Converse sneakers, though, Jordan is wearing black and red Nike apparel, with the groundbreaking Air Jordan 1s on his feet. The Chicago skyline replaces a grassy knoll in the background of Nike's image, but a hoop in the left corner remains. The image has become ubiquitous in NBA and sneaker culture.

Rentmeester sued Nike in 2015, claiming both the Nike photo and “Jumpman” logo infringed on his copyright image. Jordan Brand, according to Nike, earned $2.8 billion in revenue last year.
