Once dunked on by Warriors writers and fans, Berserker now compares favorably to modern-day mascots.
But while there’s plenty of photographic evidence of the Warriors’ San Jose foray, as well as their unfortunate three-headed point guard lineup, Berserker is basically Bigfoot – both in looks and elusiveness. He didn’t just die; he disappeared from the internet, too.

Berserker’s combed hairdo was owed, apparently, to his perfect attendance certificate from the fictional Fernando’s School of Hair and Cosmetology, found in his locker. But that was the extent of his traceable employment history and upbringing. The first time he was “sighted,” according to the Warriors, was on Nov. 1, 1996, the team’s regular season home opener. This, like many cryptid sightings, was an oversight. His first appearance came during a preseason game in Hampton, Virginia, on Oct.
