Charlie Murphy as Leroy Smith

So, apparently, Nike is a little too good for the likes of NBA.com (or they wrote this piece as a joke but I'm inclined to think otherwise as nowhere in the "interview" does it acknowledge this as a joke).

Charlie Murphy has taken on the role of "Leroy Smith", or the man who motivated Michael Jordan by taking his spot on the varsity basketball team the year Michael got cut. EITHER NBA.COM needs to hire some new interviewers or they are playing along. Either way it's good to see charlie is back to work!

How anyone who had ever watched Chapelle's Show wouldn't recognize Charlie Murphy right away is beyond me, but great stuff anyways!
