A few years back while watching an 80s Lakers finals game vs. the Celtics, they showed a guy in a white suit dancing court side. I thought it was funny but I had forgotten about it. A few weeks back one of my professors said that there was this guy in the 80s that was always wearing a Miami vice suit and sunglasses that would be court side at Laker games; I think he was the same guy. I can't find anything about him online. Anyone have any information on him?

I think he went off to go look for a heartbeat or something.

Sako32, all joking aside, this is the guy you're asking about.

Someone should make that their LG username.

Better yet, a mod. That way nobody will ever forget!

Dancing Barry came to my home in Van Nuys. He was talking with my brother and I to sign a petition for Lakers to hire him or get a raise. I was about 8 or 9 at the time. We got his autograph and I think my brother or Mom signed the petition. We told him to go to our neighbors house as they were also Laker fans.

I believe he came around 8-9p on a weekday.
