The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in Oakland, California. The franchise has also been based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, San Francisco and San Jose, California (during a renovation of their home arena) during its existence. The team is a member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Warriors initially joined the Basketball Association of America (BAA) as the Philadelphia Warriors in 1946, and won the first BAA championship title in the same year under coach Edward Gottlieb. The Warriors later joined the NBA at its foundation in 1949. The Warriors' record was 26–42 in their first NBA season, and they lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Syracuse Nationals.[1][2] Franklin Mieuli and the Diners Club put together a group of 40 local investors to move the Warriors to San Francisco before the 1962–63 NBA season, with Mieuli eventually buying all the shares of the franchise to keep the team from collapsing and to keep it in the area. After playing several home games in Oakland from 1967 onward, the team moved to Oakland full-time for the 1971–72 NBA season and changed their name to the Golden State Warriors.[3][4][5]

Led by Rick Barry, the Warriors were a strong franchise during the middle 1970s, achieving winning records every season from 1971–72 to 1977–78 and achieving two division titles and one NBA title. After Barry departed at the end of the 1977–78 season, however, the Warriors were never in the hunt for a title or even an NBA Finals berth during the thirty-five subsequent seasons. Between 1978–79 and 2011–12, the Warriors only achieved eight winning seasons and suffered the NBA’s second-longest postseason appearance drought with no appearances between 1994–95 and 2005–06,[a] behind only the Braves/Clippers between 1976–77 and 1990–91.[b] Earlier the Warriors had suffered the equal-sixth-longest NBA postseason appearance drought between 1978 and 1986.

Coming off the franchise’s first league title in forty seasons, and boosted by over half a decade of skillful drafting, the 2015–16 Warriors finished with the best record in NBA history with a final mark of 73–9, one win better than Michael Jordan’s 1995–96 Bulls.
