Jason Richardson isn’t the greatest Golden State Warrior of all time. That honor goes to Steph Curry. Jason Richardson isn’t even the greatest dunker of his day. His peer, Vince Carter, was.

But Golden State’s former No. 23 — forever known as J-Rich in the Yay — is the best tomahawker to roam our home court and an indisputable legend. Because for a brief period, Dubs fans could say that one of our own kin, a Warrior, was the Slam Dunk King.
