The Golden State Warriors have had more than 600 players wear more than 60 jersey numbers throughout their rich and storied history spanning more than 75 years.
The team was founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA—the predecessor league to the NBA) era, and its home games include Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.

That player is Golden State Warriors forward Barry Kramer. After finishing his college career at New York University, Kramer was selected seventh overall by the (then) San Francisco (now Golden State) Warriors in the 1964 NBA draft.
The Schenectady, N.Y., native played the first 33 games of his career with the Warriors before signing with the New York Knicks in 1965.
