The act of copying someone's technique or moves in sports to enhance your own performance. athletic skill, athlete, basketball, football, baseball, hockey, NCAA, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college sports, professional sports, star athlete, cultural appropriation
I saw you pull that triple crossover, you faked that guy out of his shoes. I got that from you after I saw your last game. Hey that's athletic appropriation, but that's okay-I got mad skills.
