Like .04 nothing came of Eric Floyd's 51 points. We brought the Celtics out to the coast & left them there...dead in the ground.Who tf is sleepy floyd? That's the first time I ever heard of him, damn he did a number on the Lakers, even outplayed the greatest pg of all time Magic Johnson
Some of these cats are dumb ...
1. When was Magic ever defending the other team's best player? Sure, Magic got some of that 51 ...but so did Coop, Byron etc.
2. Although no superstar Sleepy made at least one ASG (and I think a couple IIRC) and was streaky good scorer. In college back when college hoops were legit he was a major star at Georgetown as well
some of y'all need to brush up on your hoops history.
Who is Sleepy Floyd? He wore 21 before it was cool, son. I got to see him play.Who tf is sleepy floyd
at about 13:30 the GSW announcer with a great call "Micheal cooper one the greatest defensive players in this game is useless he can't STOP him!!!"Who is Sleepy Floyd? He wore 21 before it was cool, son. I got to see him play.
A couple notes after seeing this video ... (saw the game as a kid)
Byron had 28 points
Kareem 25 ...
That was one of the worst defensive games I ever Coop play ...Floyd was hot ...but Coops close-outs were horrible.
Riles vs. George Karl
Klay's daddy ...
great comeback mostly by one man ...
That Gstate team had a couple of good players but no way should the Lakers lose to that team.
It doesn't change the fact that he went off on the Lakers for 51 points, it's arguable that "sleepy" floyd would even be a rotation player in today's league. 80's/90's basketball is insanely overrated. Guys like Curry and Westbrook wouldn't make it but "sleepy floyd" could lol.
Sleepy would have averaged 40 ppg in today's NBA
Sleepy Floyd was streaky (ie inconsistent). He'd have 32 points a game then 4 the next. He's really quick and has decent handles but his outside shot was all over the place.
He likely won't be relied upon in today's game to win or lose a series, but he'd be a great sixth man when he's hot. Reminds Me a little of lance Stephenson without the crazy
But, it led to nothing. For the 2nd time in 3 years we stepped on & over the Celtics for our...I don't know some # NBA le. It was made a big deal then, and now nigh on 30 years later because that's all they had then. Now? I can't account for it. I do know that the Pistons were waitin' and Riley's guarantee that we'd do it again was accurate...It doesn't change the fact that he went off on the Lakers for 51 points, it's arguable that "sleepy" floyd would even be a rotation player in today's league. 80's/90's basketball is insanely overrated
