This past weekend, Chris Webber was voted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Webber was acquired by Golden State as the No. 1 overall pick in a draft-day trade with Orlando in 1993. He won Rookie of the Year in the 1993-94 season but was then surprisingly traded to Washington amid friction with Warriors coach Don Nelson. Webber also wrapped up his playing career in a nine-game cameo with the Warriors in the 2007-08 season.
Former Warriors head coach Rick Adelman also was voted into this year’s Hall of Fame class. Although he is better known for his years with the Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets, Adelman coached the Warriors to a 66-98 record in the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons.
Webber and Adelman become the 28th and 29th members of the Hall of Fame with a direct tie to the Warriors franchise — not counting indirect ties such as former coach Dave Cowens, who is inducted as a player but not a coach.
Below, we celebrate the 29 Hall of Fame figures with ties to the Golden State/Philadelphia Warriors franchise in photos.
