If you talk about the hottest team in recent years, there is no doubt that the answer will definitely be the Golden State Warriors, this three-point team led by Steve Kerr seems to have some kind of mysterious power, other teams are against the Warriors, their ability is reduced by at least 30%, Stephen Curry's inexplicable and perverted three-point shot has gathered a lot of popularity in a short period of time, but what you don't know is that once, the young coach Steve Kerr was also questioned, Klay Thompson almost broke the dream of basketball because of his inappropriate behavior, and now the popular fried chicken Stephen Curry has become a public enemy of Golden State for a period of time, and every time he plays, he will inevitably be scolded by the home fans, what is going on? Let's talk about this Golden State Warriors team full of contradictions!

In 1946, the Warriors were officially established in Philadelphia, Philadelphia is a city that carries the American political dream, so the name of the Warriors is actually the same as the 76ers, the 76ers commemorate the Declaration of Independence signed in Philadelphia in 1776, and the Warriors commemorate the brave soldiers who died in the American Revolutionary War.

In 1946, Joe Fox became the absolute leader of the team, and he was also the superstar in the league at that time on a par with George McCann, Fox was 196 cm tall, playing as a power forward and center, and his specialty was shooting, in his first season, He averaged 23.2 points per game, and won the league's first scoring title with an absolute advantage of 6.4 points more than the second-place Washington Old Capitals star Bob Philik, the earliest batch of players used two-handed shooting (the shooting posture refers to Noah's shooting posture), such a shot will make the basketball fly farther, but the stability is not good, so the shooting rate of the players at that time was very low, basically about 18%-25% shooting rate, But Folkes did be the first player in the league to use one-handed shooting on a large scale, which greatly increased the shooting percentage and also made the game more interesting, Folkes shot more than 30% in his first season, which was undoubtedly a pioneer performance for the league that had imperfect systems at the time, Fox was not the first player to use one-handed shooting, but he was the player who promoted the technology further.

Folkes had a very "high" shooting percentage in that era, so he was almost the team's shooting machine, under normal circumstances, Folkes had to take nearly 30 shots per game, accounting for almost one-third of the team's shots, but you have to understand that this is different from some of the "lone wolves" now, because the shooting percentage was low at that time, and those teammates of Folkes were also willing to create opportunities for him to shoot, and it turned out that it was Folks' shooting, Giving the Philadelphia Warriors their first NBA championship trophy, Fox once threw 42 balls in a game, a record that no one has been able to challenge until now, and it seems like a not-so-good historical record now, but it seems to be a symbol of responsibility and ability back then.

In addition to his shooting, Folks' characteristics are also his bounce, nicknamed "Jumping Joe", excellent physical fitness makes Folks' style of play very tough, and the ability to score points under the basket is also very strong, at that time, almost no one can stop Folks' scoring, the 1946-1947 season was still called BAA, which is now the predecessor of the NBA, and the Philadelphia Warriors led by Fox went all the way to the Finals, The 4-1 victory over the Chicago Bucks won the first championship trophy in NBA history.

Joe Fox played for the Warriors for eight seasons and was an epoch-making scorer, averaging 26.0 points per game in his third season in the NBA, not to be taken for a low number, when there were no 24-second violations, the pace of the game was very slow, and the league's super scorer who averaged more than 20 points per game could be counted on one hand. Joe Fox's contribution to the league, in addition to his heroic performance on the court, outside the game, he also made a huge contribution to the salary chips of the league's players, in those days, in the eyes of ordinary people, playing basketball was not a serious business, and compared to other industries, the salary was not high there, Folkes's first season The team offered him an annual salary of $5,000, Fox also worked part-time as a salesperson in a department store in order to earn more money, but later, The department store offered Folks an annual salary of $8,000 to get Fox to resign from the team, and Folkes negotiated with the team accordingly, and in the end he won, and the team offered him an epoch-making $8,000 annual salary and a car, according to which the player's salary was later followed.

In the early history of the Warriors, there is another person whose name is as important as Joe Fox, his name is Paul Alijin, in the 1950 NBA draft, the Warriors directly signed Alijin directly with "local terms", Alijin once scored 95 points in a single game in the NCAA game! There is no doubt that he was a superstar, and this can be seen from the nickname given to him by later generations, how powerful Alijin was at that time, his nickname was - "Ancient Jordan".

Paul Alikin was a well-known scorer in college, the Warriors offered an annual salary of $9,000 in his first year in the NBA, it is clear that the Warriors have great expectations for Alikin, and Alijin did not disappoint the team, throughout his ten-year NBA career, all spent with the Warriors, and was selected as an NBA All-Star in all ten seasons, including nine seasons with an average of more than 20 points per game, and a shooting rate of 42.1%, which was at the time, It can be regarded as very efficient.

Alijin is 193 cm tall, serves as a guard, and his killer feature is the jump shot, including the fish jump jump shot after dribbling, what is the "fish jump" that is, after jumping up, the legs are in the air and kick hard, like a fish tail, the advantage of doing this action is that it can improve the time in the air, which is beneficial to the stability of the shot.

Alikin's second year in the league, Averaging 25.4 points per game, he won the scoring title, in fact, Ali Jin won a total of two scoring titles in his ten-year career, 1952-1954, Ali Jin was forced to join the army because of the situation on the Korean battlefield, and the Philadelphia Warriors, who lost Ali Jin's firepower, were hit hard, with a record of 12-57 and 29-43 in the two years, but when Ali Jin returned in 1955-1956, the Warriors' record improved by leaps and bounds, Ali Kim averaged 24.2 points per game in the regular season, leading the team to a league-best 45-27 to end the regular season, and in the playoffs, the Warriors went all the way, defeating the Knicks and Pistons, respectively, to win the second championship in team history.

In 1978, two of the Warriors' early superstars, Joe Fox and Paul Arikin, were inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame at the same time.

In fact, Paul Alijin suffers from severe asthma, and every time he completes a switchback run, he has to gasp for air, high-intensity sports are an unattainable dream for others with this disease, but Alijin with his love for basketball, he dedicated everything to basketball, and on December 12, 2006, Alijin died of an asthma attack at the age of 78.

In the early stage of the Warriors, all fans who like the Warriors should also remember one person, his name is Andy Philip, Philip is 188 cm tall, plays as a point guard, and is a passing master in the early NBA. Eleven-year career averaged 9.1 points and 5.4 assists per game, five All-Stars, two 1950-1951 seasons and 1951-1952 seasons with an average of 6.3 assists per game and 8.2 assists per game to join the league assist leader, is the first NBA player to reach 500 assists, you must know how difficult it was for Philip to achieve such an achievement in that era of extremely low shooting percentage, in 1961, Philip was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame, ranking Philip behind Joe Fox and Paul Arikin is not to despise Philip's greatness, but because in Philip's eleven-year career, changed four teams, including only two seasons with the Warriors, and it was in those two seasons that Philip won two career assists.

In addition to the above three, there is another star whose resume is no less than them, he is Neil Johnston, Johnston is 206 cm tall, serving as a center, in the long history of the Warriors, like Joe Fox, Paul Arikin and Andy Phillip, he is also a figure to be reckoned with, as we all know, the NBA's first truly dominant super center is George McCann, McCann is followed by Bill Russell, but there is a three-year gap between McCann and Russell, Nick Johnston is the No. 1 center in these three years!

Nick Johnston has dedicated eight years of his career to the Philadelphia Warriors, and in the 516 games he has played, He averaged 19.4 points and 11.3 rebounds per game, in fact, if it weren't for Johnston's rookie season of 6 points and 5 rebounds per game, his stats would be even more beautiful, his killer feature on the basketball court is hook shooting, yes, before Abdul-Jabbar, Nick Johnston practiced hook to perfection, in the 1955-1956 season, Nick Johnston became Paul Alikin's most reliable helper, and finally helped him win the second championship trophy in team history, in the 1958-1959 season, Nick Johnston was forced to retire because of a serious knee, and after retiring, he coached the Philadelphia Warriors for two seasonsOn May 15, 1990, Johnston was inducted into the Hall of Fame, but he was unable to make it, and he died twelve years ago in 1978, without seeing his most glorious day.

In the 1958 NBA draft, the Warriors won a small point guard Guy Rodgers with the fifth pick in the first round, he is a pass-based guard, in the second year he came to the team, Chamberlain landed in Philadelphia, Rodgers and Chamberlain passed and attacked, complementing each other, in the hundredth night of Chamberlain's shock, Rodgers alone sent him 20 assists, which can be called the most effective assistant around Chamberlain, four All-Star, two assists show that Rodgers is still a passer with a certain ability, In 2014, Rodgers was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame.

In fact, the 1956 championship trophy has a lot to do with another person, his name is George Seneski, this season is the second season after Seneski's retirement, and his previous eight seasons were all dedicated to the Philadelphia Warriors. Although the average data per game is an inconspicuous 7.2 points and 3.2 assists, he is the team's founding veteran, and he was in the team just after the team was built, so he has a lot of prestige in the locker room, and Warriors owner Eddie Gebright is interested in this, so he handed over the head coach to Seneschi, who also lived up to expectations, played a very sharp offensive basketball, and averaged 99 points per game, with strong offensive ability, so that the team won the championship trophy that year.

In the 1959-1960 season, the Philadelphia Warriors ushered in a new superstar, he is Wilt Chamberlain, speaking of Chamberlain's joining, there is also an allusion, in 1955, the league introduced the "Regional Draft Rules", specifically to allow the team to give up a first-round rookie, and then to sign a local college player, at that time Philadelphia owner Eddie Gebright used this clause to lobby the league, saying that Chamberlain was a Philadelphia native and played for Philadelphia in high school, Although Chamberlain attended the University of Kansas, there was not a single NBA team there, and the league agreed to the request after much deliberation, and Chamberlain joined the Philadelphia Warriors, where he spent the first three seasons of his career.

It is worth mentioning that Eddie Gebright won the first championship of the ABA (the predecessor of the NBA merger) as the head coach of the Warriors, so the best rookie award of the year is also called the Eddie Gebright Award.
