History of the Warriors

The Philadelphia Warriors are a professional basketball team that has been part of the NBA since its inception in 1946. The Warriors have had an impressive history, winning three championships and making 11 appearances in the NBA Finals. During their time as members of the Basketball Association of America (BAA), they won two consecutive titles from 1947-1948 with Hall-of-Fame players such as Joe Fulks and Neil Johnston leading them to victory.

In 1962, the franchise moved to San Francisco and became known as Golden State Warriors before returning to Philadelphia for one season in 1963–64 where they were referred to simply as “The Philadelphia” due to their short stay back home. After another move out west, this time landing them permanently in Oakland California, they went on an incredible run during 1975 when led by Rick Barry who was named MVP that year while guiding his team through playoffs all way up until the championship game which would eventually be lost against Washington Bullets 4 games 2 wins each side.

During recent years, however, the Warrior's success has increased dramatically under coach Steve Kerr who took over the 2014 -2015 season. With help from star player Stephen Curry, they managed not only to win the 2015 finals but also the 2016 title becoming the first-ever franchise record-breaking 73 regular season wins along the way. It is safe to say that after many ups and downs throughout decades-long history, the Warriors now firmly established themselves among the top teams league thanks to the modern-day coaching staff's commitment to bringing the best players on the court every night!
