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 15 players who wore the No. 9 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State wing alum Ralph Kaplowitz. After ending his college career at NYU, Kaplowitz signed with the New York Knicks in their and the BAA's first season of existence. In early 1947, his contract was sold to the (then) Philadelphia (now, Golden State) Warriors.
His stay with the team would span parts of 2 seasons, the New Yorker moving on to other domestic leagues afterward.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Kaplowitz wore only jersey No. 9 and put up 5.1 points per game.
