1. Stephen Curry
During the 2015-16 season, Curry set the NBA record for 3-pointers made in a single season with 402.
Curry has earned two MVP Awards, four championships, one Finals MVP Award, and nine All-NBA Team selections.
The Baby-Faced Assassin is the only player to win a unanimous MVP and drain at least 4,000 triples.
2. Wilt Chamberlain
Wilt Chamberlain was straight-up unstoppable during his time in the league, as he put up that famous 100-point game in a Philadelphia Warriors jersey.
Chamberlain took the Warriors to the NBA Finals in 1964, but they came up short against the Boston Celtics.
Chamberlain earned an MVP Award and five All-NBA selections as a Warrior.
3. Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant spent just three seasons in The Bay, but he made the most of it, leading the Warriors to consecutive championships and earning Finals MVP honours both times.
KD bought into the heavy ball-movement style of play the Warriors subscribed to, which slightly lowered his scoring averages in the regular season. However, Durant would turn it up a notch in the postseason, which was a huge reason the Warriors went 16-1 in the playoffs in his first season there.
4. Rick Barry
Rick Barry led the Warriors to their first championship in 1975, taking home Finals MVP honours after averaging 29.5 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3.5 steals during their four-game sweep of Washington.
Barry earned six All-NBA selections during his time in The Bay.
5. Paul Arizin
Paul Arizin was named to four All-NBA Teams and led the Philadelphia Warriors to a championship in 1956.
Arizin missed two seasons from 1952 to 1954 due to military service in the Korean War.
He has the fourth-most points in franchise history.
6. Chris Mullin
Chris Mullin averaged at least 25 points per game from 1988 to 1993, earning four All-NBA Team selections during that period.
Mullin is fifth in points, second in steals, and sixth in assists in franchise history.
7. Nate Thurmond
Nate Thurmond is the franchise’s all-time leader in rebounds and sixth in points. Thurmond was named to five All-NBA Defensive Teams throughout his time with the Warriors.
Thurmond was also the fourth player to average at least 20 points and 20 rebounds per game.
8. Klay Thompson
Klay Thompson helped make the Warriors even more deadly during their dynasty run with his 3-point shooting and defence.
Thompson earned four championships and two All-NBA selections while playing his role to near perfection next to Curry.
9. Draymond Green
Draymond Green was the glue that kept the Warriors together during their dynasty run, providing excellent playmaking and defence.
Green earned two All-NBA nods, nine All-Defensive team selections, and the 2016-17 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award.
