Stephen Curry is the all-time leader in points scored for Golden State.
Living legend, Steph Curry, has rewritten the Warriors’ record books during his storied career and is unsurprisingly the franchise’s all-time leading scorer.
The Warriors have a rich history with several all-time great scorers calling the Bay Area home during their careers. Legends like Wilt Chamberlain and Rick Barry defined different eras for the Warriors before Steph Curry established himself as the Dubs’ greatest player and greatest scorer.
1.) Stephen Curry – 23,668 Points
Chef Curry is the greatest shooter of all time and continues to put his stamp on the NBA record books entering his 16th professional season. Curry is the NBA record holder for made 3-point field goals (3,747), which puts a gap of over 800 made threes between him and the No. 2 all-time shooter from distance, Ray Allen. In addition to being Golden State’s all-time leading scorer, Curry also holds the franchise records for assists and steals. Curry has missed the most field goals in franchise history by a wide margin as well, making him the embodiment of the old adage, “Shooters Shoot.”
2.) Wilt Chamberlain – 17,783 Points
Wilt The Stilt was one of the most dominant forces in league history. He holds the record for most career rebounds by over 2,800 boards and was of course a legendary scorer as well. Chamberlain ranks seventh in points all-time and he was largely unrivaled in that category during his playing days. The four-time MVP led the league in scoring in seven different seasons and shot 54 percent from the floor in his career. In his third season with the then-Philadelphia Warriors, Chamberlain averaged an absurd 50.4 points per game and notched the only 100-point game in league history.
3.) Rick Barry – 16,447 Points
Barry is one of the all-time greats not just in Warriors history, but league history. He spent eight seasons with the Warriors across his lengthy playing career and was named First Team All-NBA on five occasions with the club. A prolific scorer, Barry averaged over 30 points per game twice while with the Warriors and had two similarly great seasons in the ABA. In terms of single-game accomplishments, Barry had 14 games with 50 or more points which puts him in a tie with LeBron James for seventh all-time.
4.) Paul Arizin – 16,266 Points
Before Wilt Chamberlain and Rick Barry starred for the Warriors, Arizin was the face of the franchise. Arizin made the All-Star team in every season that he played and could have more but he took two years away to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps during the 1952 and 1953 campaigns. At the time of his retirement, Arizin was the league’s third-leading scorer all-time and had two NBA scoring titles to his name.
5.) Chris Mullin – 16,235 Points
Mullin was a crafty scorer during his 13-year career with the Warriors and ranks third all-time in games played for the franchise. Mully averaged 20.5 points during his first stint with the Warriors that lasted 12 seasons and later returned for his final NBA season at age 37 in 2000. He was an All-Star in five straight seasons (1988-1992) and averaged just under 26.0 points per game during his peak. Some of Mullin’s other career accolades include being a two-time Olympic gold medalist as a member of the 1984 and 1992 teams, as well as having a successful coaching stint with his alma mater, St. John’s.
