The Golden State Warriors performance in the 2006-07 season was exciting for fans, as they defied all odds to beat the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs (their first time there in 12 years). Though it was touch-and-go there for awhile, head coach Don Nelson has agreed to keep coaching the team and in an effort to address the need for larger players, added rookie Brandan Wright, Kosta Perovic (who’s a whopping 7 feet 2 inches!) and Marco Belinelli. The real question is whether or not Nelson can build on the momentum started last year, and the Warriors need your support. Get your tickets to Oracle Arena and cheer the Golden State Warriors on to a winning season in 2007-2008!

The Golden State Warriors are a team with a rich tradition and a history that includes arguably the greatest player in basketball history. The team began in 1947 as the Philadelphia Warriors in the fledgling Basketball Association of America, the predecessor to the NBA. Right away they were proven champions, winning the inaugural league championship. Led by one of the first basketball superstars, Joe Fulks, the Warriors were contenders for many years in the BAA. In 1949, the team made the transition to the NBA but struggled early. The Warriors returned to championship form in 1956 to top the then Fort Wayne Pistons for the NBA crown.
