Summary

Chuck Todd & J.A. Adande tell the complete history of The Golden State Warriors, who certainly didn't become a dynasty overnight. Long before Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and the NBA's greatest three-point revolution, the Warriors were one of the most fascinating—and frustrating—franchises in professional sports. Chuck & J.A. take you from their origins as one of the NBA's founding franchises to the rise of Wilt Chamberlain, the 1975 championship team led by Rick Barry, the Run TMC era, the We Believe Warriors, and ultimately the dynasty that changed basketball forever.

0:49.8

All you need to know is that the NBA didn't count block shots until Wilts last season in 72, 73. And he still has more official career blocks than Steph Curry. Yeah, but you know what? George Miken has something to say about that. But if we're going to, you're really going to go back, but all right. Bill Russell, do you think he might have wanted to get some of his blocks counted? But Curry specially,, three-point shot, of course, wasn't even part of the NBA until 1979.

1:22.8

It's called 11 different arenas home.
