In this blog post, we continue our NBA team highlights with a team that has had a lot of recent success: the Golden State Warriors.
Getting their start in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors, they are tied with the San Antonio Spurs for having the 4th-highest NBA championships wins. They won 2 championships as the Philadelphia Warriors and the next 3 following their move to the Bay Area in 1962. From 1959-1964, they had Wilt Chamberlain–who has 72 NBA records, some of which are considered unbreakable. During his time with the Warriors, he scored his legendary 100 points in a single game against the Knicks and made 55 rebounds in a single game against the Celtics.

Following the trade of Chamberlain to the Philadelphia 76ers, the team saw some success with Nate Thurmond, Rick Barry, and Jamaal Wilkes. However, the loss of these key players led them to struggle through the years of 1978-1987. The next 20 years were a series of ups and downs, but they were unable to attain any division titles, conference titles, or championships.
In the last 10 years, the team has seen success with the additions of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Kevin Durant. In the 2014 season, Curry posted 4 triple-doubles–a franchise record Wilt Chamberlain had set in 1963—and both Curry and Thompson began setting NBA records for 3-point shooting. With each following season, the “Fantastic Four” have continually broken records held by themselves and others.
