Franchise history

The Philadelphia Warriors were among the first BAA teams. In 1962, they moved to the Bay Area and changed their name to the San Francisco Warriors. In 1970, they changed their name to the Golden State Warriors. As the Golden State Warriors, the franchise has only won one championship, in 1975. That team was coached by former Warrior Al Attles, and led on the court bu Rick Barry, Jamaal Wilkes, and Phil Smith. The team had another successful string of wins in the late 80s/early 90s with the high scoring trio of point guard Tim Hardaway, guard Mitch Richmond, and forward Chris Mullin (collectively known as Run T-M-C).
