The Top 30 Golden State Warriors players in franchise history (Updated 2023)
8. Tim Hardaway
A three-time All-Star while in Golden State, Tim Hardaway, whose son is also playing in the NBA, was a Warriors starter for a total of five and a half seasons, scoring over 20 points per game in four of the five complete years.
Originally the team’s 14th pick, Hardaway led the team to two playoff trips, getting out of the first round just once. It was a tough era to excel in as the Lakers, Blazers, Suns, and Spurs all contained some of the best players to ever pick up a basketball.
Undersized at just six feet, Hardaway averaged 20.5 points and 9.6 assists with the team. Tack on 1.4 threes and 2.0 steals on 46% from the field, and it’s easy to see why he’s high on this list.
Hardaway was set for a lengthy, dominant career before sitting out the 1993-94 season due to a knee injury at the age of 27. He went on to be an All-Star at 30 and 31 so Hardway still played well even after that, but his best days in the league were certainly early on with the Warriors.
