The Golden State Warriors can trace their history back to the inaugural season of the NBA, back when they were the Philadelphia Warriors. Philadelphia was a playoff team in each of the first three seasons of the NBA, but then missed the playoffs for three straight years. The Warriors returned to the playoffs in a big way in 1956, winning the NBA championship behind future Hall-of-Famer Paul Arizin. The Warriors were in the playoffs more often than not over the remainder of the 1950s, 1960s, and most of the 1970s. The team made the NBA Finals twice in the ‘60s, but wouldn’t win its second NBA championship until 1975, when a team led by Rick Barry swept the Washington Bullets in the finals. Since the 1980s started things have been difficult for the Warriors. Over the last three and a half decades, Golden State has just seven playoff appearances, never more than two seasons in a row, and never advancing past the Western Conference Semifinals. Today the Warriors look ready to buck the recent losing trend thanks to the emergence of point guard Stephen Curry. Golden State has retired the numbers of five players in franchise history.
