Franchise history

Team creation
The Warriors were founded in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors, a charter member of the Basketball Association of
America. They were owned by Peter A. Tyrrell, who also owned the Philadelphia Rockets of the American Hockey
League.[10] Tyrrell hired Eddie Gottlieb, a longtime basketball promoter in the Philadelphia area, as coach and general
manager.[11] The owners named the team after the Philadelphia Warriors, an old basketball team who played in the
American Basketball League in 1925.[12]

19461962: Philadelphia Warriors

Led by early scoring sensation Joe Fulks, the team won the championship in the league's inaugural 194647 season by
defeating the Chicago Stags, four games to one. The NBA, which was created by a 1949 merger, officially recognizes that as
its own first championship.[b] Gottlieb bought the team in 1951.
