Following a rousing Game 2 win over the Houston Rockets to even out the series, Donovan Mitchell took to Twitter to relive his put-back dunk over three Rockets players, fittingly captioning it “Game… Blouses” after the Prince parody from Chappelle's Show.
“It was pretty funny,” said Mitchell prior to Friday's Game 3. “My coaches kept telling me on the flight [back to Utah] so I figured I'd watch it again.”

Mitchell's tweet blew up shortly after he posted it, with his face posing an uncanny resemblance to how comedian Dave Chappelle depicted Prince after a dominant game of basketball, serving up more than some pancakes to his guests.
The parody, a part of Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories, has been embedded in the pantheon of great sketches from the popular early 2000's Comedy Central show and serves as an often-source of comic relief.
Mitchell's middle school years were likely when he was first exposed to the show, a memory he obviously still carries with him to this day.
