Both starred alongside the Purple One in the video, which, thanks to Schwartz, is no longer lost to history. Blackshire produced and Schwartz wrote the music. “The Daisy Chain” - both its video and the album it appeared on - were at first only available to Prince’s NPG Music Club, an exclusive fan club he pioneered in the Internet’s younger days. Of the deep cuts, this is one of the deepest. The rare moment comes at the tail end of a rare music video - one Prince shot in 2000 at Paisley Park with a couple of his then-regular collaborators: keyboardist Kip Blackshire and David “DVS” Schwartz, a hungry, up-and-coming songwriter-rapper-visual artist who spent time living out of his car and showering at a local gym for the chance to create art full-time in the days before social media. Prince’s Greatest Sports Moments: From Rocking the Super Bowl to Rocking Charlie Murphy on the Court In honor of his birthday, we’re excited to unearth a forgotten gem, which just might be the only video out there of Prince balling… Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories notwithstanding. I guess I was the guy to say that and I'm glad I said it.Chappelle’s Show introduced most of the world to Prince’s basketball acumen, and subsequent digging into Prince’s backstory verified that, yes, he was that good. Later, in an appearance at the Variety Sports an Entertainment summit in July, Embiid was quoted as saying, "I think most people have been wanting to say that. "So guess what, get your asses off the god damn Tweeter, and get in the gym."Įmbiid was then captured on an Instagram live video saying, "F- LaVar Ball," a statement for which he was fined $10,000 by the NBA for using vulgar language. These guys ain't played a game, always hurt, and at the bottom of the totem pole. "Ain't nobody else doing that, because they're working on their game in the gym. LaVar Ball responded to Embiid's trash talk a week later in an interview with Philadelphia radio station 97.5, saying "When you don't win and don't even make the playoffs, and don't even stay on the court long enough, that's the best thing you can do is tweet, make some stuff," Ball said. "Even the thing I said 'Oh please dunk on him,' I just took it from sister, who said that like weeks before that." "I just meant it to be funny," Embiid said. So in his mind at least, this "feud" with the Ball family is more like a WWE-style callout than real animosity.
But he's a playful trash-talker, not a fearsome one. On May 18, Olivia Simmons tweeted, "I hope my brother dunks on Lonzo Ball so hard next year that his daddy runs on the court to help him up."Īt 23, Embiid is already one of the NBA's biggest trash-talkers on and off the court. People think I hate him, but I love him."Įmbiid said the NBA draft-night tweet of June 22 in which he told Sixers rookie Ben Simmons, "Please dunk on him so hard that his daddy runs on the court to save him" was meant to be a funny reference to something Simmons' sister Olivia had tweeted after LaVar Ball's controversial interaction with Fox Sports host Kristine Leahy. I love what he's doing, especially with his own shoe. "The whole situation with them, I think it's just fun.
