Top 10 All-Stars in Warriors Franchise History Ranked

With the NBA All-Star Weekend approaching, I thought it would be fun to rank the Top 10 All-Stars to have been apart of the Warriors franchise. This will be based on how each player performed while repping the Dubs as well as their importance to the franchise. It can be from the days in Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Oakland. Here we go.

*Honorable Mention - David Lee (2012-2013), Sleepy Floyd (1986-1987), Bernard King (1981-1982), Tom Gola (1959-1962), Paul Arizin (1950-1952, 1954-1962), Neil Johnston (1952-1958)

10. Latrell Sprewell (1993-1997) - Everyone knows about the 1997 choking incident with PJ Carlesimo who was the head coach of the Warriors at the time. That really is the defining moment of Latrell’s career in Golden State but he was a baller on the court. He later would help lead the Knicks to the 1999 NBA Finals and the Timberwolves to the 2004 Western Conference Finals.

9. Tim Hardaway (1990-1993) - The “T” in RUN TMC. Tim would be leading the fast break back in those days and display his amazing passing skills to an either slashing Mitch Richmond or a Chris Mullin who was ready to shoot at all times. Hardaway’s deadly crossover was also spectacular to watch when he was playing one-on-one.

8. Draymond Green (2015-2018) - The glue that has kept everything together during the recent dynasty run from the Warriors. We wouldn’t be talking about all the success that this franchise has had in past seasons without Draymond and that’s a fact.

7. Nate Thurmond (1964-1968, 1969-1970, 1972-1974) - “Nate The Great” has his jersey hanging in the rafters for a reason. He replaced Chamberlain when he was shipped off to Philadelphia to play with the 76ers and was one of the toughest defenders in the league at the time. Nate was also the first player in NBA history to record a quadruple-double.

6. Chris Mullin (1998-1993) - You can catch him on NBC Sports Bay Area during the Warriors broadcasts but we all know Mullin as a Golden State legend. He brought his East Coast flare to the West Coast along with Tim Hardaway and Mitch Richmond. Opposing teams wouldn’t dare to leave this guy open on the perimeter.

5. Rick Barry (1965-1967, 1972-1978) - The man who brought the first championship to the Warriors in the Golden State era in 1975. Barry was obviously known for his under-handed free throws but was a terrific offensive player. Actually, one of the most prolific scorers the league has ever seen.

4. Kevin Durant (2016-2019) - You know him, you love him, and you probably miss him too. KD put this franchise over the top. Curry, Klay, and Durant should be considered the greatest trio this league has ever seen assembled at this moment (I’ll wait on Kyrie, Harden, and KD… for now).

3. Klay Thompson (2014-2019) - When you think of Curry, you can’t help but think of Klay as well. The Splash Bros is the greatest shooting backcourt this league has ever seen and no one can change my mind on that. Get healthy and hurry back, Klay. Dub Nation misses you but we have some unfinished business to take care of.

2. Wilt Chamberlain (1959-1965) - One of the greatest in the history of the game. You know him as that guy who scored 100 points in a single NBA game or the guy who averaged 50 points per game in a season.

1. Stephen Curry (2013-2021) - Was there any doubt?
