Okay, so I've recently been doing lists of top Bay Area athletes of all time; I write brief bios for each person on the list. I was nearly done with the Warriors list...and it got deleted.
I won't go back and do the bios, at least not now, but I have the list ready to go.
Supersedes prior lists. Through 2022-23
The number given to each player is an overall impact number - covering regular season, postseason, peak value, career value. It's close to the same formula I'm currently using for my NBA career rankings (it's maybe a little better) Represents only Warriors value. The list is dynamic and contains a rate element, so active players may find their rankings drop. Bad seasons also count. Everything counts.
