Association Icon Statement

City Classic

The Warriors won the inaugural Basketball Association of America (BAA) championship in
1947,[c] and won again in 1956, led by Hall of Fame trio Paul Arizin, Tom Gola, and Neil Johnston.
After the trade of star Wilt Chamberlain in January 1965, the team finished the 1964–65 season
with the NBA's worst record (17–63). Their rebuilding period was brief due in large part to the
Warriors' drafting of Rick Barry four months after the trade. In 1975, star players Barry and
Jamaal Wilkes powered the Warriors to their third championship, widely considered one of the
biggest upsets in NBA history.

The team struggled in the 1980s, then became playoff regulars at the turn of the decade with
stars Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Chris Mullin, nicknamed "Run TMC". Led by Stephen
Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, the team returned to championship glory in 2015,
with defensive swingman Andre Iguodala being named Finals MVP. In 2016, the Warriors set the
record for best regular season record at 73-9 before losing the Finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers
(against whom they played a record four straight finals against) and becoming the first team to
blow a 3-1 lead in the Finals. After signing former MVP Kevin Durant, the team won back-to-back
championships in 2017 and 2018 (Durant winning both Finals MVPs). They lost the 2019 Finals
to the Toronto Raptors, a series which saw Durant and Thompson suffer serious Achilles and
ACL injuries, respectively; Durant left that off-season. After missing the playoffs the previous two
seasons, the Warriors returned to the playoffs with a healthy Thompson and a new supporting
cast that included All-Star Andrew Wiggins and key scorer Jordan Poole; they defeated the
Boston Celtics in the 2022 Finals, where Curry won his first Finals MVP. The Warriors' dynasty
has seen the team win 4 titles in 8 seasons, as well as reach five consecutive Finals from 2015
to 2019 (6 Finals in 8 years); Curry, Green, Thompson, and Iguodala were on all four 21st century
championship teams, Shaun Livingston and Kevon Looney were on three each.

Nicknamed the "Dubs" as a shortening of "W's",[7][8] the Warriors hold several NBA records: best
regular season, most wins in a season (regular season and postseason combined), and best
postseason run. Curry and Thompson are generally considered among the greatest backcourts
of all time.[9][10] The Warriors have the third most NBA championships and have the third most
Finals appearances; only the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics have more. Wilt
Chamberlain and Stephen Curry have been named the NBA's MVPs while playing for the
Warriors, for a total of three MVP awards.
