Rollingstone Basketball article....

http://www.rollingstone.c...p?pid=2055

Its an article about 25 instances of basketball and rock mixing... One of them is about Prince:

Prince Is King of His Court

On his 1988 Lovesexy world tour Prince introduced a new element to his elaborate stage set: a basketball hoop. So, do the Purple One's legendary dance moves translate to the court? Rolling Stone scribe Toure got to play with Prince on the indoor court at Paisley Park Studios, not too far from the Minnesota Timberwolves' home: "He dribbles like a point guard, passes well, and cuts and darts like a short player does to take advantage of his height . . . and even though he's a known egomaniac, he moves surprisingly well without the ball -- a hallmark of an unselfish player." So how's his outside shot? "Well, if you'd spent all those years fully dedicated to making music, you wouldn't be Bernard King either."
