Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets, Celtics Reflect Decades of Jersey History
Several NBA franchises with rich histories have commemorated the players who wore specific jersey numbers throughout their existence. The Golden State Warriors, founded in 1946, have had over 600 players wear more than 60 different jersey numbers, including Latrell Sprewell, who wore No. 15 and averaged 20.1 points per game from 1992 to 1999, and Lester Connor, another No. 15 wearer who averaged 7.6 points during the 1980s. The Brooklyn Nets, originating in 1967 as the New Jersey Americans, have had 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 players, including Johnny Baum and Ollie Taylor, both of whom wore No. 20 and contributed modestly during the early 1970s. The Boston Celtics, with over 500 players wearing 68 different jersey numbers, honored Ed Sadowski who wore No. 22 and averaged 19.4 points in the 1947-48 season. These retrospectives highlight the legacy and evolution of player contributions across teams and eras, supported by detailed statistical records.
