Nate Thurmond

A Hall of Famer, Nate Thurmond represented the Warriors for 11 seasons of his 14 year NBA career. Although he did that as a member of the Chicago Bulls, Thurmond was the first player in league history to record a quadruple-double.

Getting back to his Warriors days. He played both power forward and center for the franchise, and in 757 games put up averages of 17.4 points and 16.9 rebounds. His #42 jersey is retired by both the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

He was a huge reason for the franchise to be relevant through the late 1960's and the early 1970's. Through his 14-year career, Thurmond was selected to seven All-Stars games and seven All-NBA Defensive teams. He passed away on July 16th, 2016 and the Warriors honored him by wearing a patch with #42 on their jerseys last year.
