The Golden State Warriors is Oakland, California's official basketball team. The team, in actuality, is actually called the golden State Warriors, but most people only refer to them as the warriors. The team's inception came in 1946 Back then, they were the Philadelphia Warriors, based in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. The franchise managed do away with a win during inaugural season championship of the Basketball Association of America, or the presently known, NBA. It was only in 1962 when the franchise transferred to San Francisco, their new home. Along with the team's move, their name changed to the San Francisco Warriors until 1971, when it changed again to become the Golden State Warriors. Despite their many name changes, the team has managed to maintain a slew of loyal fans who readily buy Warrior tickets, as soon as they're sold.

The Golden State Warriors are responsible for some of basketball's most unforgettable moments, winning the championship for a total of 3 times. Fans who had gotten Warrior tickets in the inaugural championship of 1946 to 1947 were fortunate enough to witness a win. Those who again purchased Warrior tickets in the championship of 1955 to 1956 and that of 1974 to 1975 were also treated to respective victories. In fact, the Golden State Warriors' record stands as 5th in the total number of wins.

The first year the Golden State Warriors were around, Peter Tyrell, the same owner of the Philadelphia Rockets, the hockey team of the state, owned the franchise. Peter Tyrell then got the assistance of Eddie Gottlieb, a long time promoter, not to sell Warrior tickets, but to serve as the team's coach and general manager. Under the Eddie Gottlieb and basketball sensation Joe Fulks' expertise, the team demolished the Chicago Stags and walked away as champions.

During the 1955 to '56 season, the Warriors were champions once again after defeating the Fort Wayne Pistons. Some of the members of that team have made it into the basketball Hall of Fame namely Paul Arizin, Michael Bryson and Neil Johnston. 1959 was the fateful year that the team managed to obtain Wilt Chamberlain in a draft. His records and style of play revolutionized basketball and changed it to what it is today. At one time, Chamberlain made 100 points against the New York Knicks, making that game and those Warrior tickets one of the most memorable in basketball history.

After these amazing performances, the Golden State Warriors championship stint seemed to go down. They went through tough times, causing them to lose their place among NBA's top teams. Today, the team continues to rebuild, strengthening their coaching staff, as well as their present members. With much work and dedication, the Warriors will hopefully reclaim the title of NBA champs.
