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 first of 12 players who wore the No. 8 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State big man alum Tony Farmer. After ending his college career at Nebraska, Farmer would go unselected in the 1991 NBA draft, he would play in other domestic leagues and abroad until he signed with the Charlotte Hornets in 1997.
He'd end up playing aborad again until he signed with the Dubs for his last season in the NBA in 1999.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Farmer wore only jersey No. 8 and put up 6.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game.
