We spent years listening to more and more details of the infamous early-morning basketball game between Prince and his team, and Eddie and Charlie Murphy, who became one of the greatest skits of all time in the world. Chappelle Show.
Was it true? There was a colleague from Prince Micki Free confirming it, including details of what was used that night. There was Samuel L. Jackson saying that Prince told him it was true. And there are countless stories about how the late legend was good at basketball.
On Thursday night, we heard Eddie Murphy himself with a participation in the The Tonight Show. He told Jimmy Fallon basically the same thing as his late brother said in Chappelle Show – Prince’s team won, and it was all true. But he added a detail: the only player on Eddie’s team who was good won a Prince sneaker, which had smaller feet than the other’s. Therefore, the Murphys star fought on the court.
So good.
