    Golden State Warriors History

    Prior to the NBA merger in 1949, the Philadelphia Warriors were a charter team in the Basketball Association of America (BAA), and are one of only three teams still in existence in the NBA. Having recaptured league success over the past 10 years, the Warriors are once again one of the powerhouse franchises in the NBA.

     The Warriors won their first championship in the inaugural season of the BAA, beating the Chicago Stags 4-1 in the 1946-47 finals. Although the title was won prior to the merger, the NBA recognises the Warriors as the first champions of the league. 

    The Warriors first season in the league saw the emergence of scoring sensation and future hall of famer, Joe Fulks. Fulks was a key member of the first title team, leading the league in scoring with 23.2 points per game in the 1946-47 season.

     After two seasons in the NBA, inaugural coach and general manager Eddie Gottlieb bought the team in 1951, and relinquished the head coach position prior to the 1955-56 season. In just his first season as head coach, George Senesky led the Warriors to their second championship, with future Hall of Famers Paul Arizin, Tom Gola and Neil Johnston all playing key roles.

    After a year of touring as a Harlem Globetrotter, Philadelphia local Wilt Chamberlain was drafted by the Warriors in 1959, marking a new era in the NBA. A prodigious high school talent, Chamberlain entered the NBA and immediately became the highest paid player in the league, and it didn’t take long for Wilt to show his worth, scoring 43 points and bringing in 28 rebounds in his first NBA game. 

    In 1962 San Francisco radio legend, Franklin Mieuli became a majority shareholder and electing to relocate the franchise to the San Francisco Bay Area, renaming them the San Francisco Warriors.  

    After drafting Nate Thurmond to play alongside Wilt, the Warriors looked ready for another championship push, the only thing that stood in their way was the Boston Celtics. In 1964 the Warriors faced Boston in the finals, going down 4-1 in the best of seven, handing the Celtics their sixth of an eventual eight consecutive championships.

    Through five and a half years with the Warriors Chamberlain averaged a staggering 41.5 points and 25.1 rebounds, recognised as the MVP of the league in 1960, however team success alluded Chamberlain and the Warriors, leading to Wilt being traded during the 1964-65 season. A season that saw the Warriors only win 17 games.

    Chamberlain is widely recognised as one of the top 10 NBA players of all time, to this day holding a plethora of records amongst the league including the 7th most points in NBA history (31,419) and the most points ever scored in a single game (100).

    After selecting NBA rookie of the year Rick Barry in the 1965 draft, the Warriors, led by Barry and Thurmond, made the 1966-67 NBA finals, where they were defeated by… you guessed it, Wilt Chamberlain and the Philadelphia 76’ers.

     After rebranding the team to become the Golden State Warriors, Barry would eventually taste success, bringing the team their third championship (first on the West coast) as the finals MVP in 1975.

    Although the Warriors continued to churn out All Star and future Hall of Fame quality players, such as Chris Mullins, Tim Hardaway and Chris Webber. From 1978 through until 2014 the Warriors only managed to win 5 playoff series in that 36-year stretch. 

    From an on-court perspective, the turning point for the Warriors in the modern era came with a run of successful draft picks, selecting Steph Curry with the seventh pick in 2009, Klay Thompson with the 11th pick in 2011 and Draymond Green with the 35th pick in 2012. 

    Following the appointment of Steve Kerr in 2014, Curry, Thompson and Green were the cornerstone pieces behind the Warriors drought breaking 2015 championship run as well as the NBA record 73-9 season in 2016. Two remarkable seasons for the Warriors capped off with consecutive MVP awards for point guard Steph Curry.

    Leading the 2016 finals three games to one, the Warriors went on to lose the final 3 games to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The following offseason saw the Warriors sign 2014 league MVP Kevin Durant for the following season.

    Durant proved to be the missing piece for the already star studded Warriors, who went on to redeem themselves against James and the Cavaliers, winning the next two NBA championships, with Durant winning consecutive finals MVPs.

    Having lost the 2019 NBA finals to the Toronto Raptors, the Warriors entered 2020 without Kevin Durant (signed with the Brooklyn Nets) and Klay Thompson (ACL). Curry missed most the COVID-19 interrupted season and the Warriors trade D’Angelo Russell for Andrew Wiggins and a 2021 first round pick. All of the loss and changeover resulted in Golden State finishing at the bottom of the Western conference with the worst record in the league. 

    Their poor season proved fruitful, with the Warriors gaining the second pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and used it to select James Wiseman. Many thought that Golden State may trade the 7 foot prospect, but they wanted to win and traded for Kelly Oubre Jr, helping fill the hole left by Klay Thompson, who tore his achilles and missed a second straight season.

    Golden State finished eighth in the West but never made the playoffs, losing two straight games, to the Lakers and Grizzlies, in the 2021 Play-In Tournament. With two lottery picks, 7 & 14, the Warriors have some pieces that they can move to help re-tool the roster to help Curry and Thompson to another shot at a title.

    The Golden State Warriors added another championship to their impressive dynasty in 2022. They went on to beat the Boston Celtics in six games and win their fourth ring in the last eight years.
