Ya, I'm an old timer, in my 30's now.

I watched the Warriors in the 80's when they had old Purvis short with his massive rainbow jumpers, and their underachieving center named Joe Barry Carrol.
He was called Joe Barely Cares, because he had no passion & underachieved.

But ya, Sleepy Floyd averaged 12 points in his career and managed to score 39 points in one half against the Lakers who had Kareem, Magic, & Worthy.

I just looked it up, and it's still a record to this day. Playoff points in a quarter, and a half. 29/39.

Sir Arthur,

My mom is from Houston and was a big Rockets/Oilers (Luv Ya Blue!) fan...so I remember him mostly as a Rocket. I was also like 9 or something when he was w/ GS and most of the GS stuff that I ever remember of him was old highlight tapes that I had and they were mainly highlights of Mullin or Higgins but the name "Sleepy" sticks with a youngin'.

He was traded to Houston from the warriors for Ralph Sampson in late 1987.
I just looked up his career, I totally forget he played for the Spurs & the Nets and retired in 1995.
Didn't realize his career lasted that long.

But yes, he played like 5 seasons with the Warriors & 5 with the Rockets.

How can anyone forget "Sleepy", an odd name for an athlete, but he did have funky looking eyes.

lets just all agree to hate the kings.
