The team, in the beginning, was named as the Golden State Warriors, but most people today only refer to them as the Warriors. The team started out in 1946 and under the original name Philadelphia Warriors. They were based out of Philadelphia Pennsylvania when they first started. The franchise was extremely talented and managed walk away with a win during inaugural season championship of the Basketball Association of America, or the presently known NBA. It was only in 1962 when the franchise made the move to San Francisco, the golden city. Along with the team’s move, their name was slightly altered to the San Francisco Warriors until they year 1971, when it changed again to become the Golden State Warriors. Despite their many new names, the team has a group of loyal fans who readily buy Warrior tickets, as soon as they’re available.
The Golden State Warriors are the people behind some of basketball’s most unforgettable moments, winning the championship for a total of 3 times. Fans who had gotten Warrior tickets in the inaugural championship of 1946 to 1947 were extremely fortunate to witness a win. Those who again purchased Warrior tickets in the championship of 1955 to 1956 and that of 1974 to 1975 were also gifted with respective victories. In fact, the Golden State Warriors’ record stands as 5th in the NBA with the total number of wins.
The first year the Golden State Warriors were around, Peter Tyrell, the same owner of the Philadelphia Rockets, the hockey team of the state, owned the franchise. Peter Tyrell then got the assistance of Eddie Gottlieb, a long time promoter, not to sell Warrior tickets, but to serve as the team’s coach and general manager. Under the Eddie Gottlieb and basketball sensation Joe Fulks’ expertise, the team demolished the Chicago Stags and walked away as champions.
During the 1955 to ’56 season, the Warriors reclaimed the championship after winning against Fort Wayne Pistons. Some of the members of that team were inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame. Some of them are Paul Arizin, Michael Bryson and Neil Johnston. 1959 was the significant year that the team managed to obtain Wilt Chamberlain in a draft. His records and style of play revolutionized basketball and changed it to how it is played today. At one time, Chamberlain made a hundred points against the New York Knicks, making that game and those Warrior tickets one of the most cherished in basketball history.
After these stellar performances, the Golden State Warriors championship stint seemed to go down. They went through rough times, causing them to lose their place among NBA’s top teams. Today, the team is at the brink of rebuilding, strengthening their coaching staff, as well as their present members. With much work and dedication, the Warriors will one day become the champions again!
