Let’s Revisit Charlie Murphy’s Hilarious Retelling of Prince’s Basketball Game

April 12, 2017

Today the tragic news came down that Charlie Murphy, beloved comedian and brother of Eddie Murphy, lost his battle with leukemia at the way-too-young age of 57. Murphy was best known for his bits on Chappelle’s Show over the years along with his devastatingly funny stand up routines.

Maybe his opus came in the form of a segment about a now-famous basketball game that took place at Prince’s house late one night as Murphy, brother Eddie and a few of their friends were challenged by The Purple One and the Revolution. 

Watch the full segment below, as told by Charlie.
