We have spent years hearing more and more details from the infamous late-night basketball game played between Prince and his crew, and Eddie and Charlie Murphy, which became one of the all-time greatest sketches from Chappelle’s Show.
Was it true? There was Prince colleague Micki Free confirming it, including details about what was worn that night. There was Samuel L. Jackson saying Prince told him it was true. And there are countless stories about how good the late legend was at hoops.
On Thursday night, we heard from Eddie Murphy himself with an appearance on The Tonight Show. He told Jimmy Fallon basically the same thing his late brother said on Chappelle’s Show — Prince’s team won, and it was all true. But he added a detail: the one player on Eddie’s team that was good got some sneakers from Prince, who had feet who were smaller than the other guy’s. So the Murphys’ star player struggled on the court.
So good.
