LeBron James and Netflix Sued by Writer Who Claims ‘Rez Ball’ Ripped Off His Script
Rob Grabow sued Netflix and LeBron James, arguing that 'Rez Ball' infringed on a script he sent months after the film wrapped production.
Rob Grabow alleges that the film shares unmistakable similarities with his script, entitled “The Gift of Game.” Both are stories about Native American high school basketball players who compete for the state championship. Devin McRae, the attorney who represents Grabow, argued that even if his script was shared after principal photography on “Rez Ball” wrapped, in May 2023, there may still be infringement. “We don’t know for sure that principal photography was complete then, but if it were, the 16-month period between then and the film’s release would permit plenty of time to make significant changes in post-production by, e.g., editing, pick up shots, re-shoots or voiceover,” McRae said by email.
