Throughout the long and storied history of the NBA, only two teams have had more success than the Golden State Warriors<\/a> as it pertains to winning titles. Those two teams, of course, are the Boston Celtics<\/a> and Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>, who are tied atop the championship leaderboard with an incredible 17 each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a few years, the Warriors were tied with the Chicago Bulls<\/a> below the Celtics and Lakers with six NBA titles but broke the tie by winning a seventh in 2022. And unlike the Bulls, who won their six in a single decade, the Warriors have spread theirs out a bit. In fact, they won the very first championship recognized by the NBA when they were still members of the BAA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's take a quick look at the seven titles won by the franchise now known as the Golden State Warriors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1946-47<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 1946-47 season was the first for the Basketball Association of America, which rebranded as the NBA three years later, and the first for the then-Philadelphia Warriors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a 35-25 record, the Warriors finished second in the Eastern Division behind the Washington Capitols. The NBA Playoffs were a bit different back then, so Philadelphia took on the second seed in the West, the St. Louis Bombers, to open the postseason and defeated them in the best-of-three series, 2-1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Warriors then swept the New York Knicks in the semifinals, 2-0, before defeating the Chicago Stags in the best-of-seven NBA Finals, 4-1. Despite this technically being a BAA championship, it is recognized as an NBA championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1955-56<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Still located in Philadelphia at this time, the Warriors had missed the playoffs in three consecutive seasons heading into the 1955-56 campaign. But led by Paul Arizin, who was an All-Star every season of his 10-year career with the franchise, the Warriors had the best record in the East at 45-27, securing a first-round bye in the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the semis, Philly knocked off the defending champion Syracuse Nationals, who would later take the Warriors' place in the City of Brotherly Love as the 76ers. The Warriors then made easy work of the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Finals<\/a>, winning the best-of-seven series in five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1974-75<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
