History of the Golden State Warriors

Founded in Philadelphia in 1946, the Warriors moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1962 and took on the city's name, before changing their geographic name to Golden State in 1971. [B] They play their home games at the Chase Center.

The team struggled in the 1980s and then became a playoff contender at the turn of the decade with stars Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin, nicknamed "Run TMC". The team returned to championship glory in 2015, led by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green; they won again in 2017 and 2018, with the help of former MVP Kevin Durant.
