The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in San Francisco, California. The Warriors compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division. The team was founded in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the franchise won the championship in the inaugural season of the Basketball Association of America (BAA), the league that would become the NBA after a merger in 1949.

History[edit | edit source]

Early Years[edit | edit source]

The franchise was established in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors, named after the 1920s team that played in the American Basketball League. The team was owned by Peter A. Tyrrell, who also owned the Philadelphia Rockets of the American Hockey League. The Warriors won the championship in the league's inaugural 1946–47 season by defeating the Chicago Stags.

Move to San Francisco[edit | edit source]

In 1962, the franchise relocated to San Francisco, California, and became known as the San Francisco Warriors. During this period, the team was led by star player Wilt Chamberlain, who set several NBA records.

Golden State Era[edit | edit source]

In 1971, the team changed its geographic moniker to Golden State, intending to represent the entire state of California. The Warriors won their first championship on the West Coast in 1975, led by coach Al Attles and star player Rick Barry.

Modern Era[edit | edit source]

The Warriors have experienced significant success in the 21st century, particularly under the ownership of Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, who purchased the team in 2010. The team has been led by star players such as Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, and coached by Steve Kerr. The Warriors won three championships in 2015, 2017, and 2018, and added another title in 2022.
