The NBA Champion Golden State Warriors will recognize a member of each of the franchise’s three previous championship teams during their Opening Night ring ceremony tonight, prior to tipping off the 2015-16 campaign against the New Orleans Pelicans at Oracle Arena.
In addition to collecting their 2014-15 NBA Championship rings and unveiling the 2014-15 NBA Championship banner, the Warriors will recognize Howie Dallmar Jr., whose late father, Howie, was a member of the inaugural NBA champion Philadelphia Warriors in 1946-47; Walt Davis, who appeared in 80 regular- and postseason games for Philadelphia during its championship run in 1955-56; and Rick Barry, who earned the 1975 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award after helping the Warriors to a four-game sweep of the Washington Bullets, claiming their first title in the team’s West Coast Era.
