The Warriors began play in 1946 in Philadelphia as a charter member of the Basketball Association of America, the precursor to the NBA. Led by early stars Joe Fulks, Paul Arizin, Tom Gola and Neil Johnston, the Warriors won titles in 1946-47 and 1955-56. The team later added Wilt Chamberlain and Nate Thurmond, moved to San Francisco in 1962 (and Oakland in 1971), but were unable to win a championship with the Hall of Fame duo. Led by Rick Barry and Jamaal Wilkes, the Warriors won the 1974-75 NBA title. After a downturn, the Warriors had a late 1980s resurgence behind the “Run TMC” trio of Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Chris Mullin. The team went through an extended period of struggles with only sporadic success, even with such stars as Chris Webber, Latrell Sprewell, Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson, Baron Davis, Monta Ellis, and Antawn Jamison. The arrival of Steph Curry (and later Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Kevin Durant) would result in three NBA championships in 2014-15, 2016-17, and 2017-18.
