OAKLAND – Al Attles, whose legacy as a Warriors icon dates back 57 years as a player, coach, executive and ambassador, was named Sunday as a co-recipient of the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award along with longtime NBA coach and broadcaster Hubie Brown.
The award, sponsored by the National Basketball Coaches Association, is Attles’ second lifetime achievement award in the past three years. In 2014, he received a similar honor from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, but this latest one is equally prestigious. Past winners include K.C. Jones, Jerry Sloan, Bill Fitch, Pat Riley, Lenny Wilkens, Tex Winter, Jack Ramsay and Tommy Heinsohn.
