The '''Golden State Warriors''' are a [[NBA|National Basketball Association]] team based in [[Oakland]], [[California]].
Originally founded as the '''Philadelphia Warriors''' in 1946 as a charter member of the Basketball Association of America (the predecessor to the NBA), they were best known as the team who drafted Wilt Chamberlain (who would score a record 100 points in a single game). The team relocated to [[San Francisco]] in 1962, adopting the name '''San Francisco Warriors''' before relocating to Oakland in 1971 and adopting their current name (they are the only major professional sports franchise to name its team after a state nickname).
The team will relocate to a new arena in San Francisco in 2019, but the team will maintain its current name.
