During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Bazemore wore only jersey Nos. 20 and 26 and put up 4.1 points and 1.7 rebounds per game.
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 first of 29 players who wore the No. 20 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State wing alum Kent Bazemore. After ending his college career at Old Dominion, Bazemore would go unselected in the 2012 NBA Draft, instead signing with the Dubs for the first of two stints.
The Kelford, North Carolina native would play parts of the first two seasons of his pro career with Golden State, coming to an end when he was dealt to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2014. In between, he also played for the Atlanta Hawks, Portland Trail Blazers, and Sacramento Kings.
His second stint began in 2020 when he signed with the Dubs, and ended in 2021 with a return to the Lakers. During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Bazemore wore only jersey Nos. 20 and 26 and put up 4.1 points and 1.7 rebounds per game.
