Best obscure pop culture reference on these boards. Ever.
It is amazing to see the list of players who started out with the Warriors, only to leave after a few years, after which they blossom into NBA All Star players. The Warriors had Robert Parish and traded him to the Celtics in 1980 I think.
They played well in the 1980's during Don Nelson's first tenure as coach in the late 80's and early 90's. Very entertaining team, but never went deep into the playoffs. Then Nelson and Chris Webber left, leading to more than a decade of terrible hoops. Nelson came back again a few years back, the Warriors had Baron Davis for a little while and made it to the playoffs in the 2005-2006 season, where they beat the Mavericks. They played well last year but lost many games they should not have and missed the playoffs even though they won 48 games. Baron Davis left for Clipperland and the Warriors are horrible again. Don Nelson may not last the year if the team keeps playing like it has been.
Too bad the 1975 Warrior team that won the NBA title could not find the fountain of youth, take a swig, and lace up their Chuck Taylor All Stars again and provide a little entertainment to the long suffering Warrior fan base.
