Al Attles: A Warrior Through and Through

You may remember him as the second-leading scorer the night Wilt Chamberlain dropped 100 points. You may remember him as “The Destroyer.” Or you may remember him for his fashionable suits while he coached. There is one thing, however, Dub Nation knows: there is one person who is known as the Face of the Franchise, and his name is Al Attles.

Alvin Austin Attles Jr. has been with the Warriors in one capacity or another since 1960, the longest uninterrupted streak of any person for one team. He spent the first 24 years as a player, player-coach, head coach, and general manager.
