The Top 30 Golden State Warriors players in franchise history (Updated 2023)
7. Paul Arizin
Here is another one for the ages.
Paul Arizin came into the league in the 1950 NBA Draft and was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a player in 1978. Born in 1928, Arizin missed two years during the prime of his career to serve in the Marine Corps.
While we must note that there were eight teams in the NBA, Arizin may have a record that is held by only a few in NBA history. That said, Arizin was an All-Star in each of his 10 seasons in the NBA.
Whether you really want to count them all or not is up to you, but Arizin was incredible for a few seasons in Golden State, averaging over 25 points in three of his ten seasons and at least 20 in nine of them.
He was also a terrific rebounder, snagging at least seven boards in all ten of his seasons in the league. Arizin was the main threat on the 1955-56 Warriors roster, one that managed a league-high 45 wins and also won the team’s second title.
