The success story started all the way in 1946-47 when they strived to badge the BAA title. In the subsequent year, the team lost to Washington Bullets (4-2) in the BAA finals. It was then the 1955-56 season to bring glory to the Golden State Warriors when they beat the Fort Wayne Pistons (4-1) in the NBA finals. However, Golden State Warriors also saw a trophy-drought period of 40 years between the wins of 1974-75 and 2014-15. The last 3 championships came for the team in 2017, 2018, and 2022.
