The Top 30 Golden State Warriors players in franchise history (Updated 2023)
5. Chris Mullin
In an era that’s oftentimes only defined by Michael Jordan’s Bulls and Karl Malone’s Jazz, the Golden State Warriors had a 6-foot-6 small forward that also took the league by storm. Chris Mullin is his name, and he was the Warriors’ first-round draft pick in the 1985 NBA Draft.
Mullin had six straight seasons in which he averaged over 20 points per game. Having played with the Warriors for 13 seasons, Mullin only spent three seasons outside of the Bay Area, finishing his career with the Indiana Pacers.
Mullin was an absolute workhorse for the team, also averaging over 35 minutes per game in six straight seasons. He was a solid three-point shooter, notching over 45% from deep in three seasons as well.
There wasn’t much on the court the five-time All-Star couldn’t do. With five playoff runs to his name, all sadly ending in defeat, Mullin saw success but played in an era that was tougher than most and contained arguably the best to ever pick up a basketball.
For his contributions, his success, and his overall dominance, Mullin just cracks the top-five Warriors in franchise history.
