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 seventh of 28 players who wore the No. 12 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State forward alum Ted Luckenbill. After ending his college career at Houston, Luckenbill was picked up with the 20th overall selection of the 1961 NBA draft by the (then) Philadelphia (now, Golden State) Warriors.
The Elkhart, Indiana native would play both seasons of his pro career with the Dubs, ending when he left the league in 1963.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Luckenbill wore only jersey No. 12 and put up 2.3 points and 1.9 rebounds per game.
