The Golden State Warriors lost the leader of their 1975 championship team on Tuesday, when Hall of Fame point guard Al Attles died on Tuesday. He died in his East Bay home surrounded by family, the team announced.
He is the longest-serving coach in Warriors history, and also has the most wins in franchise history. Attles holds the record for the longest stint with a single franchise for one person in NBA history. It’s a record he built across six decades as a player, coach, executive and, most recently, a team ambassador with the Warriors.
Attles coached the 1975 NBA championship San Francisco Warriors and spent more than six decades with the organization.
