The Warriors won the NBA championship in 1947 while based in Philadelphia, and again in 1956 after relocating to San Francisco. In 1975, led by MVP Rick Barry and All-Star center Bill Walton, Golden State won its third NBA title; it marked Barry’s only championship as a Warrior. Since winning their fourth title in 2015, playing under head coach Steve Kerr with All-Stars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant at point guard and power forward respectively, the Warriors have reached five consecutive NBA Finals (2015–19), winning three championships during that span (2015, 2017, and 2018). With the combined shooting excellence of Curry and Durant that resulted in each winning two Finals MVP Awards while on the Warriors’ roster (Curry: 2015 and 2018; Durant: 2017 and 2018), they are one of only four teams that have ever won two or more consecutive Finals MVPs since 1977 (the other three being Magic Johnson with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the 1980s “Showtime”-era Los Angeles Lakers; Michael Jordan with Scottie Pippen on his 1990s Chicago Bulls; LeBron James with Dwyane Wade on his first stint with the Miami Heat from 2012 to 2014).

The Raptors compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Atlantic Division.

The team originally played their home games at the SkyDome (later renamed Rogers Centre), before moving eastward along Bremner Boulevard to the Air Canada Centre in 1999. Following four disappointing seasons, including a then-franchise record low 13 wins in 2002–03, Chris Bosh was drafted as fourth overall pick in 2003. In 2007–08, Bosh emerged as Toronto’s franchise player and was named an All-Star for the first time. That same year he led them to their first Playoff appearance since 2001 and their first ever Division title. Bosh left Toronto in 2010 as a free agent signee with Mike Babcock as head coach; he was replaced that offseason by Dwane Casey. The Raptors qualified for five consecutive Playoffs between 2014 and 2018 but failed to secure any further progress; this culminated in Casey’s firing and eventual replacement by Nick Nurse before the 2018–19 season. The Raptors finished that regular season with a 58–24 record—their second best of all-time—and won their second-ever Eastern Conference championship before reaching their first ever NBA Finals where they defeated Golden State Warriors clinching their maiden championship title during its twenty-fifth anniversary season becoming not only one of two expansion teams (alongside San Antonio Spurs) to ever win an NBA Finals but going on also becoming also one of three current Canadian teams – joining Calgary Flames (1989) and Montreal Canadiens (1993) – having won major North American professional sports championships located outside Canada

After struggling financially in 1957–58 due to Mikan retirement and relocation from Minneapolis to Los Angeles didn’t help matters much either but things improved when they signed Elgin Baylor as their draft pick in 1958 and he became one

of their star players while Jerry West emerged as another star for them too while Chick Hearn provided excellent play-by-play commentary during their broadcasts which added to their appeal even more for fans and helped make them become one of if not THE most popular team in not just California but all across America as well during that time.

In 1962, Frank Selvy scored 100 points against them becoming onlythe second player to do so but despite that they went on to win their 4th championship led by West and Baylor while Hearn continued providing great commentary for them on TV. They suffered some hard times though after losing Baylor to retirement and then West too along with Selvy but they eventually recovered when they drafted Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who’d go on to become one of THE greatest players in NBA history while acquiring Star player Earvin “Magic” Johnson helped them immensely too as he was not only an excellent player but also proved to be very popular with fans as well which only added to their fan base even more.

With Abdul-Jabbar and Johnson leading the way, they won 5 more championships between 1980 and 1988 while Hearn continued broadcasting games for them on TV becoming not just THE voice of the Lakers but also becoming extremely popular in Southern California during that time as he became known for not just his great play-by-play commentary but also his catchy phrases which included “slam dunk”, “air ball” and “Hand it up!
