History

The Warriors were founded in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors, a charter member of the Basketball Association of America (BAA). They were owned by Peter A. Tyrrell, who also owned the Philadelphia Rockets of the American Hockey League. Tyrrell hired Eddie Gottlieb, a longtime basketball promoter in the Philadelphia area, as coach and general manager; Gottlieb was one of the owners of the failed American Basketball League’s Philadelphia Sphas. By the end of the season, despite having won only 17 games, tyrrell had decided that Gottlieb was incapable of running an NBA team and sold him to buy a minor league hockey team, also called The Warriors. Gottlieb bought back majority control of the team a year later.

In 1959, the franchise relocate to San Francisco, and changed its name to the San Francisco Warriors. The Warriors won their first NBA championship in 1975, led by star player Rick Barry. In 1976, after losing star center Nate Thurmond to retirement and head coach Al Attles to pneumonia, attendance at Warriors games began to decline; things got so bad that at one point they had to offer free tickets to anyone who would show up to their games.

In 1977, they drafted high school phenom Magic Johnson with their first overall pick; he would eventually lead them back to prominence. After Johnson’s rookie season,Attles retired from coaching and was replaced by his assistant Johnny Orr. The Warriors made it back to playoffs in 1980 behind rookie superstar forward Bernard King but lost in overtime of Game 7 in the Western Conference Finals against eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers despite having a 3-2 series lead..
