The Top 30 Golden State Warriors players in franchise history (Updated 2023)
25. Bernard King
Bernard King was a top-ten pick in the 1977 NBA Draft. Originally drafted by the New Jersey Nets, King found his way to the Bay Area after three years in the league, two of which were spent with the Nets.
King was only in Golden State for a mere two seasons; however, he was dominant in those few years. In those two years, King averaged 22.5 points per game on 58% shooting. He also averaged 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists.
He appeared in one All-Star game in those two seasons. King later went on to claim one scoring title and play in three more All-Star games, one of which he was elected to while 34, still averaging over 28 points per game.
King sustained many injuries which may have partially derailed his career. Either way, King was a legend, just not with a particular team, splitting time between five teams and not staying with one for longer than four seasons.
