The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history.
Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the ninth of nine players who wore the No. 17 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State wing alum Chris Mullin. After ending his college career at St. John's, Mullin was picked up with the seventh overall selection of the 1985 NBA draft by the Warriors.
The New Yorker would play the first 13 seasons of his pro career with the Dubs before he was dealt to the Indiana Pacers in 1997, and would return for a 14th and final season in 2000.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Mullin wore only jersey No. 17 and put up 20.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.7 steals per game.
