Rick Barry was the reason for the franchise's championship in 1975. He was named the Finals MVP when the team swept the heavily favored Washington Bullets that included the game's all-time greats like Wes Unseld and Elvin Hayes.

Barry had two stints with the team. He joined the team in 1965, when they were the San Francisco Warriors, however, a contract dispute in 1967 forced him to leave the team and join the ABA. He was in the ABA till 1972, then rejoined the team (now the Golden State Warriors) for another six years.

Over the course of eight seasons with the Warriors (ten in the league), Barry averaged 25.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 642 games. Barry was named Rookie of the Year (1966) and has been selected to 12 All-Star games and 10 All-NBA teams.
