The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history.
Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA — a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the second of 23 players who wore the No. 21 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State guard alum Ron Williams. After ending his college career at West Virginia, Williams was picked up with the ninth overall selection of the 1968 NBA Draft by the (then) San Francisco (now, Golden State) Warriors.
The Weirton, West Virginia native would play the first five seasons of his pro career with the Dubs, coming to an end when he had his contract sold to the Milwaukee Bucks in 1973.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Williams wore only jersey Nos. 12 and 21 and put up 10.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game.
