The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history.
Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA – a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the second of six players who wore the No. 41 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State forward alum Wesley Cox. After ending his college career at Louisville, Cox was picked up with the 18th overall selection of the 1977 NBA Draft by the Dubs.
The Louisville, Kentucky native played the only two seasons of his NBA career with Golden State, leaving the league as a player afterward.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Cox wore only jersey No. 41 and put up 4.6 points and 2.8 points per game.
