    During the 2011-12 season, the Golden State Warriors are celebrating their 50th season in the Bay Area.

    From the inception of the Basketball Association of America (the predecessor to the National BasketballAssociation) in 1946 to the conclusion of the 1961-62 campaign, the Warriors called Philadelphia home.During their 16 memorable seasons in Philadelphia, the Warriors captured two league titles, winningchampionships in 1946 and 1956.

    Prior to the 1962-63 season, the Warriors moved from East to West, establishing the San Francisco BayArea as their home. The historic Cow Palace in Daly City (south of San Francisco in the county of SanMateo) served as the primary home for the Warriors in those early years, but the list of venues and citiesthe team appeared in was as long as the Golden Gate Bridge. The Warriors fan base extended throughoutNorthern California as the team played home games at many Bay Area locations in the 1960s, includingRichmond (Contra Costa County), San Jose (Santa Clara County), Stockton (San Joaquin County),Sacramento and Oakland (Alameda County). The team also hosted games in other California cities, suchas San Diego and Fresno, during that stretch.

    After calling The City its primary residence for nine years, the Warriors moved across the Bay to Oaklandbefore the start of the 1971-72 season. At that point, the team officially became the Golden StateWarriors due, in part, to the fact that it was as history suggested Californias team.

    During the 1971-72 campaign, the Golden State Warriors took up residence at the sparkling new OaklandColiseum Arena. Three years later, the Warriors pulled off one of the biggest upsets in NBA history bysweeping the heavily favored Washington Bullets in the 1975 NBA Finals. As fate would have it, theWarriors and Bullets played two games (Games 2 & 3) of the championship series at the teams formerhome in Daly City, the Cow Palace, because the Coliseum Arena had been previously booked for an eventin May and was unavailable.

    For 50 years, from their arrival on the West Coast in 1962 until today, the Golden State Warriors have trulybeen the Bay Areas team.

    Paying tribute to one of the greatest players in franchise history, the Golden State Warriors will retireChris Mullins jersey, #17, in a special ceremony on January 20, 2012, when the team plays host to theIndiana Pacers at Oracle Arena.

That season, he became the first player to lead the Warriors in scoring (25.1 ppg - 7th in NBA) andrebounding (5.9 rpg) since Nate Thurmond in 1964-65. He ranked 5th in the NBA in scoring (26.5 ppg)in 1988-89, earning All-NBA Second Team honors, while becoming the third player in team history toamass 2,000 points, 400 rebounds and 400 assists in a single season (Chamberlain and Barry).

    ALVIN ATTLES WARRIORS LEGEND & AMBASSADOR

    Currently in his 52nd year with the Warriors organization, Al Attles current stint with thesame team represents the longest active streak in the NBA. Attles, who celebrated his 75thbirthday on November 7, 2011, joined the Warriors in 1960 (Philadelphia Warriors fifth-round draft choice) and has since been affiliated with the club in one capacity or another,building a unique relationship based on commitment, loyalty and dedication.

    Attles is one of only six players in Warriors history to have his jersey retired (#16) joiningRick Barry (#24), Wilt Chamberlain (#13), Tom Meschery (#14), Chris Mullin (#17), andNate Thurmond (#42) and remains one of the most publicly recognizable sports figures in the Bay Area.

    His endless contributions locally as a player, executive and civic leader resulted in his much-deserved induction intothe Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame in 1993. Additionally, in the summer of 2006, the newly refurbished outdoorbasketball court at Lincoln Square Park in downtown Oakland was permanently renamed Alvin Attles Court inhonor of the local legend and longtime Oakland resident.

    In the latter stages of the 1969-70 NBA campaign, Attles was named head coach of the Warriors, replacing GeorgeLee after 52 games (spent the final two years of his playing career [1969-70 and 1970-71] as a player/coach). His30-game stint as head coach to end that season proved to be the start of the longest head coaching run in Warriorsfranchise history, a 13-plus year tenure which produced, among other highlights, the lone NBA Championship inthe clubs West Coast history (1974-75).

    During his 13-year coaching run, Attles guided the Warriors to six playoff berths, two division titles and amassed anoverall 557-518 record, which ranks 20th on the NBAs all-time coaches winning list. One season after leadingGolden State to the NBA title, he led the Warriors to a sparkling 59-23 record in 1975-76, the best mark in franchisehistory and the top record in the NBA that season. He also was named head coach of the Western Conference All-Star Team in both 1975 and 1976. Attles completed his coaching career in 1982-83 to become the Warriors GM,heading the teams basketball operations for three years.

    One of the most aggressive and hard-nosed players in the league,Attles earned the unique nickname of The Destroyer, whichappropriately described his mentality on the floor. During his 11-yearNBA career, he averaged 8.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 711regular-season games and currently ranks fifth on the Warriors all-time games played list (711). Furthermore, he was involved in one ofthe most memorable games in NBA history on March 2, 1962, when heand teammate Wilt Chamberlain combined for 117 points against theNew York Knicks, the most ever by a pair of players in league annals. Inthat game, Attles tallied 17 points (8-8 FG, 1-1 FT), while Chamberlainnetted an all-time NBA record 100 points. Heretired following the 1970-71 campaign tofocus strictly on coaching, eliminatinghis dual role as player/coach.

    A 1960 graduate of North CarolinaA&T, Attles earned his BachelorsDegree in Physical Education andHistory. He later added a MastersDegree in Curriculum and Instructionto his credentials from the Universityof San Francisco in 1983.
