What year was this?

It's The Sleepy Floyd Game. The 1987 NBA Playoffs, Western Conference Semifinals.

Byron with some nasty slam dunks! im pretty sure on the back of Purvis Short jersey it should have said ''Property of Byron Scott'' after getting smashed on like that not once but twice. But then again the entire Lakers team was the property of Sleepy Floyd during this game lol.

Tell em coach

[nickvanredd]

ya..incredible how athletic guys are now..also how incredible how bad the game is compared to then...b.scott wouldnt be a top 50 athlete, but hed be a top 10 shooter..scott now as a coach could probably out-shoot 80% of the lg. lol. .ANYONE see john walls 3pt % last year? 7%.....as in .O7....the lg is more athletic, but with more teams, more 19-20 yr olds than ever, the overall game has taken a major hit....ah well..but who cares about that...dunks sell tickets. lol.

There's not that many 6'3-6'4" guys today who are as athletic. Rose, Westbrook...maybe Wall

[yoe91]

Great video...Byron Scott was the man! I miss those days. Byron was my favorite player as a kid and I've still followed his career as a coach. From New Jersey, to New Orleans, to Cleveland, I'm rooting for him.
