The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in San Francisco. The Warriors compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as a member of the league’s Western Conference Pacific Division. Founded in 1946 in Philadelphia, the Warriors relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1962 and took the city’s name, before changing its geographic moniker to Golden State in 1971. They play their home games at the Chase Center.
The Warriors have reached eight NBA Finals, winning six NBA championships between 1947 and 1975. The team’s all-time win–loss record at 2,373–1,447 as of the end of the 2019–20 season ranks sixth among all NBA franchises; they have winning records against 29 other teams. Three future Hall of Famers played for Golden State during this period: Rick Barry, Wilt Chamberlain, and Jerry West.
The Warriors hold several NBA records; they are the only team to have won more than 67 percent of their games over an 84-game season (the 2015–16 season), as well as having the best regular season combined with post-season record in history at 89–28 (.761). As of June 2020, five Warrior players (Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Rick Barry and Kevin Durant) have won NBA MVP awards; Curry is a two-time award winner. Chriss Mullin is the franchise’s only player to have won Olympic gold while on the team (he did so as part of Team USA at the 1992 Summer Olympics). Mullin and Chris Webber were named to five All-Star teams while playing for Golden State; Mullin was additionally named to five All-NBA Teams while Webber was named to four All-NBA Teams during his time with the team. As a result of their success on both ends of the court over such a prolonged period of time, many analysts consider [the Warriors] one of if not currently THE greatest dynasty ever seen in NBA history.”
