Joe Fulks, the 6-5 forward of the Philadelphia Warriors, guided his team to the first championship of the Basketball Association of America, forerunner of the NBA.
A crowd of 7,918 packed the old Philadelphia Arena on April 16, 1947, as the series opened between the Warriors and the Chicago Stags. The Warriors took a 34-20 lead at intermission, then watched Fulks pour in 29 points in the second half. He hit his first eight shots of the fourth period and added five free throws to finish with 37 points in what the Associated Press called "the greatest shooting exhibition ever seen on the arena floor."
Angelo Musi, a 5-foot-9 guard out of Temple with a smooth set shot, added 19 points as the Warriors won it going away, 84-71. The Stags, meanwhile, had taken an incredible 129 shots, hitting only 26 of them (20 percent).
Fulks cooled off considerably the next night for Game 2, but it didn't matter. Five Warriors finished in double figures, including forward Howie Dallmar with 18 points and utility player Jerry Fleishman with 16. It was just enough to allow Philadelphia to nurse a lead of as much as eight points for most of the game. The Stags took a brief advantage at 69-68, but Art Hillhouse, a 6-foot-7, 220-pound center, was the man in the fourth period. The big center scored sevem of Philly's last 10 points as the Warriors made it two games to none with an 85-74 win.
The series then moved to Chicago. The weather seemed good, so the Warriors decided to take a commercial flight. As it turned out, the commercial carrier was attempting to set a record for the flight to Chicago, with hopes of covering the 800 or so miles in less than four hours. Thoughts of setting records soon ended after the plane was airborne.
"We were up in the air about five to 10 minutes when we smelled smoke," guard George Senesky said. "I asked Dallmar if he had put a cigarette out on the floor. Then all this black smoke filled the plane."
They had to return to the airport and switch to another plane. The incident was enough to lead at least one player to retire early from the league. But for the most part the Warriors resumed their trip to Chicago unscathed.
The Warriors did immediate damage the next night, April 19, as Fulks returned to form and led the Warriors with 26 points. With about four minutes left, Philly led by 10. Although the Stags closed fast, the Warriors held on to win 75-72 for a commanding 3-0 series lead.
They almost iced it the next night. Chicago held a 13-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. Fulks had spent most of the third quarter on the bench with four fouls, but he returned in the fourth as Philly made a run. The Warriors might have pulled it off if Fulks hadn't fouled out with two minutes left and the Warriors down by two points. He finished with 21 Senesky led all scorers with 24. But Chicago's Max Zaslofsky and Don Carlson scored 20 and 18 points, respectively, and the Stags kept their hopes alive with a 74-73 win.
The scene shifted back to Market Street, where Fulks again showed his form in Game 5. He hit for 34 points, Musi scored 13 and Senesky 11. But it was assists specialist Dallmar who salvaged a close game. With less than a minute left and the score tied at 80 apiece, he hit the big bucket.
"I scored the winning basket, which gave me a total of two points for the game," Dallmar, who went on to a career coaching at Stanford, said later. "It was from outside. I think it bounced about four times before it went in."
Fleishman added a late free throw, and the Warriors brought home a trophy for the new game's old town. Each of the players received a $2,000 bonus, quite a boost in those days, and a ring with a diamond chip in it.
Dallmar recalled being quite impressed with the money at a time when the members of the All-Star team got nothing more than a tie clasp and an autographed picture of Commissioner Maurice Podoloff. As for Coach Ed Gottlieb, the victory meant a toast. After the game he retreated to an office in the Arena for the Manhattan.
"He didn't even sip it," Senesky recalled with a laugh. "One gulp and it was gone."Warriors win NBA title through sacrifice, continuityGet the newsxShare

Sam Amick and Jeff Zillgitt of USA TODAY Sports break down how Golden State defeated Cleveland in six games to win its first championship in 40 years.
USA TODAY SportsWarriors guard Andre Iguodala celebrates winning the NBA Finals MVP award.(Photo: Bob Donnan, USA TODAY Sports)CLEVELAND – When NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made that fitting announcement, telling the basketball world that the Golden State Warriors' Andre Iguodala was the Finals MVP late Tuesday night at Quicken Loans Arena, the reactions of a few key characters nearby said everything about this team and its selfless season.Stephen Curry, the Warriors' resident golden boy and 2014-15 regular season MVP, pumped his right fist to the sky as if the award was his to have. Not far away, Iguodala's parents who brought him up in Springfield, Ill. – stepfather Leonard Shanklin and mother Linda Shanklin – hugged each other tight and cried the proudest tears they'd ever known.This story has been told countless times, the tale of the Warriors' many sacrifices that came to define their championship season. But this was a fitting ending if ever there was one, the poised and professional 31-year-old who had been benched to start the season turning the tide of a series that nearly got away from them. It all changed when first-year coach Steve Kerr put Iguodala back in the lineup for Game 4, the small-ball move that was so big in the end. And little did anyone know that Iguodala had been waiting decades for this kind of chance.LeBron James and Iguodala were born 11 months and some 500 miles apart, the greatest player of his generation being born in Akron, Ohio and one of the game's most underrated talents growing up in Springfield, Ill. They crossed paths early and often, playing in AAU tournaments and – as is so often the case in today's NBA – becoming friendly throughout the years. So when it came time for Iguodala to try to slow the man whose peak just keeps getting higher, there was no one better equipped for the call."Of course you can't stop LeBron," said his stepfather, who came into his life when Iguodala was eight years old and who was there for him at every turn. "We all know that. But what they fail to understand is LeBron came in the league one year before Andre, and Andre is from Illinois, LeBron is from Ohio. They moved around on that AAU circuit. They went to the Olympics together (in 2012), so he knows LeBron, he knows his tendencies."The evidence of Iguodala's impact was there for all to see. He slowed the Cavs' mack truck just enough to avoid the unlikely upset, with James' incredible production sullied only by the 39.8% shooting percentage that Iguodala had everything to do with. He was the extra offensive threat they needed, too, especially with All-Star Klay Thompson struggling to score during the series. In all, he averaged 16.3 points (52.1% shooting overall, 40% from three-point range), 5.8 rebounds and four assists per game.But he couldn't have reached this point if he hadn't prioritized the team over himself at the start of the season, when it was quite clear that he didn't like Kerr's move but he decided to accept it. It certainly wasn't the first time he'd chosen winning over individual glory."He made some sacrifices (when he signed with the Warriors two summers ago), turned down bigger offers, made a sacrifice coming in knowing that he could compete for a championship," his agent, Rob Pelinka said. "And then when Steve approached him about coming off the bench for the greater good of the team, I saw 'Dre do a lot of soul searching. He's an incredibly confident and incredibly patient guy, and he knew that if he gave it a try things would come back around, and they did in the biggest way."Leonard Shanklin added: "When I talked to him, I told him I didn't like it. He really didn't comment on it. He wanted a championship, and whatever that sacrifice was, he was willing to do it. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, 'OK.'"That was the remarkable part of how they got to this point, this title that ended a 40-year drought for the once-futile Warriors franchise. There were danger zones at every turn, moves that were made that could have backfired if the culture didn't hold up. But of all the moves that were made – from the Iguodala-as-super-sub decision to Draymond Green starting over David Lee and all the rest – none threatened to change it all more than the Kevin Love trade that nearly happened last summer.As non-trades go, they don't get much bigger than this. The then-Minnesota Timberwolves star was the shiny object that they surely had to think about, even if it meant they'd lose Thompson in the deal, but two guiding principles kept keeping them from giving that thumbs up: the desire to be elite defensively, something that Thompson would surely help with and L and the power of progressive growth that they didn't want to get in the way of.Even they admit that a title didn't seem to be in the cards back then, but they knew this group was something special."What we decided as an organization was to bet on continuity, to bet on giving the roster a chance," Warriors general manager Bob Myers told USA TODAY Sports. "We'd taken the Clippers to seven games (in the first round) the previous year, without a center – we didn't have (Andrew) Bogut or (Festus) Ezeli. We had not given this current roster, with the addition of (Shaun) Livingston and (Leandro) Barbosa, a real chance to show us what they can do."But so many forces are pushing you to be impatient, and it's sometimes hard to pause and say, 'You know what? Let's let this play itself out. Let's give this team a chance.' We had just hired Steve, so let's give Steve a chance (with that roster). That was the mindset behind the decision."Make no mistake, Kerr deserves a world of credit for what they did. His boldness is what took this team to the next level, and his willingness to create an inclusive environment bred the kind of creativity that played a pivotal part until the end – never moreso than the Game 4 lineup change that he publicly credited to his 28-year-old special assistant, Nick U'Ren.But Kerr knows more than anyone that they all played a part here, that this doesn't happen without the collaborative element that made it all work. He learned that much right at the start, in a meeting with owner Joe Lacob, Myers and others inside the team's practice facility in which he painted a picture of how he would use his new team.Draymond Green, the 25-year-old second-rounder who Kerr would later call the "heart and soul" of the Warriors, wasn't pegged for that starting power forward role when it all began. As Myers remembers it, he had Green down for an average of approximately 12 minutes per game."Not enough (minutes)," Myers said with a laugh. "But I think the thing to take away from that was that you don't appreciate Draymond until you're with him every day. We just said (to Kerr), 'Let's just leave his (minutes) number blank for now. Don't pigeon hole him, and just see what happens.'"I think even (former Warriors coach) Mark Jackson would tell you that (Green) is a guy who a coach can't find ways to take out of the game. He's a hard guy to take out of the game. And until you're with him every day, and seeing him practice and see him on the floor, it's hard to appreciate that until you see it."He would see it eventually, and they would all grow together en route to a title that no one saw coming. Iguodala was the one holding the individual trophy at the end, and there was a certain irony in that. The Most Valuable Player award's namesake, the great Bill Russell, was wired that way too. As even he would certainly agree, it's the Larry O'Brien version that they all shared that mattered most."If you do your job the right way, the product will be there in the end," said Christina Gutierrez, Iguodala's girlfriend and mother of their eight-year-old son, Andre II. "He was confident in all of their abilities as a team. So his thing was, 'Continue to stay focused. Do what we've done. Don't get ahead of yourself, because that's when you get knocked down.'"Instead, it's Cloud Nine and beyond for the Warriors.PHOTOS: 2015 NBA FINALSPost to FacebookPosted!A link has been posted to your Facebook feed.

Joe Fulks, the 6-5 forward of the Philadelphia Warriors, guided his team to the first championship of the Basketball Association of America, forerunner of the NBA.
A crowd of 7,918 packed the old Philadelphia Arena on April 16, 1947, as the series opened between the Warriors and the Chicago Stags. The Warriors took a 34-20 lead at intermission, then watched Fulks pour in 29 points in the second half. He hit his first eight shots of the fourth period and added five free throws to finish with 37 points in what the Associated Press called "the greatest shooting exhibition ever seen on the arena floor."
Angelo Musi, a 5-foot-9 guard out of Temple with a smooth set shot, added 19 points as the Warriors won it going away, 84-71. The Stags, meanwhile, had taken an incredible 129 shots, hitting only 26 of them (20 percent).
Fulks cooled off considerably the next night for Game 2, but it didn't matter. Five Warriors finished in double figures, including forward Howie Dallmar with 18 points and utility player Jerry Fleishman with 16. It was just enough to allow Philadelphia to nurse a lead of as much as eight points for most of the game. The Stags took a brief advantage at 69-68, but Art Hillhouse, a 6-foot-7, 220-pound center, was the man in the fourth period. The big center scored sevem of Philly's last 10 points as the Warriors made it two games to none with an 85-74 win.
The series then moved to Chicago. The weather seemed good, so the Warriors decided to take a commercial flight. As it turned out, the commercial carrier was attempting to set a record for the flight to Chicago, with hopes of covering the 800 or so miles in less than four hours. Thoughts of setting records soon ended after the plane was airborne.
"We were up in the air about five to 10 minutes when we smelled smoke," guard George Senesky said. "I asked Dallmar if he had put a cigarette out on the floor. Then all this black smoke filled the plane."
They had to return to the airport and switch to another plane. The incident was enough to lead at least one player to retire early from the league. But for the most part the Warriors resumed their trip to Chicago unscathed.
The Warriors did immediate damage the next night, April 19, as Fulks returned to form and led the Warriors with 26 points. With about four minutes left, Philly led by 10. Although the Stags closed fast, the Warriors held on to win 75-72 for a commanding 3-0 series lead.
They almost iced it the next night. Chicago held a 13-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. Fulks had spent most of the third quarter on the bench with four fouls, but he returned in the fourth as Philly made a run. The Warriors might have pulled it off if Fulks hadn't fouled out with two minutes left and the Warriors down by two points. He finished with 21 Senesky led all scorers with 24. But Chicago's Max Zaslofsky and Don Carlson scored 20 and 18 points, respectively, and the Stags kept their hopes alive with a 74-73 win.
The scene shifted back to Market Street, where Fulks again showed his form in Game 5. He hit for 34 points, Musi scored 13 and Senesky 11. But it was assists specialist Dallmar who salvaged a close game. With less than a minute left and the score tied at 80 apiece, he hit the big bucket.
"I scored the winning basket, which gave me a total of two points for the game," Dallmar, who went on to a career coaching at Stanford, said later. "It was from outside. I think it bounced about four times before it went in."
Fleishman added a late free throw, and the Warriors brought home a trophy for the new game's old town. Each of the players received a $2,000 bonus, quite a boost in those days, and a ring with a diamond chip in it.
Dallmar recalled being quite impressed with the money at a time when the members of the All-Star team got nothing more than a tie clasp and an autographed picture of Commissioner Maurice Podoloff. As for Coach Ed Gottlieb, the victory meant a toast. After the game he retreated to an office in the Arena for the Manhattan.
"He didn't even sip it," Senesky recalled with a laugh. "One gulp and it was gone."Warriors win NBA title through sacrifice, continuityGet the newsxShare

Sam Amick and Jeff Zillgitt of USA TODAY Sports break down how Golden State defeated Cleveland in six games to win its first championship in 40 years.
USA TODAY SportsWarriors guard Andre Iguodala celebrates winning the NBA Finals MVP award.(Photo: Bob Donnan, USA TODAY Sports)CLEVELAND – When NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made that fitting announcement, telling the basketball world that the Golden State Warriors' Andre Iguodala was the Finals MVP late Tuesday night at Quicken Loans Arena, the reactions of a few key characters nearby said everything about this team and its selfless season.Stephen Curry, the Warriors' resident golden boy and 2014-15 regular season MVP, pumped his right fist to the sky as if the award was his to have. Not far away, Iguodala's parents who brought him up in Springfield, Ill. – stepfather Leonard Shanklin and mother Linda Shanklin – hugged each other tight and cried the proudest tears they'd ever known.This story has been told countless times, the tale of the Warriors' many sacrifices that came to define their championship season. But this was a fitting ending if ever there was one, the poised and professional 31-year-old who had been benched to start the season turning the tide of a series that nearly got away from them. It all changed when first-year coach Steve Kerr put Iguodala back in the lineup for Game 4, the small-ball move that was so big in the end. And little did anyone know that Iguodala had been waiting decades for this kind of chance.LeBron James and Iguodala were born 11 months and some 500 miles apart, the greatest player of his generation being born in Akron, Ohio and one of the game's most underrated talents growing up in Springfield, Ill. They crossed paths early and often, playing in AAU tournaments and – as is so often the case in today's NBA – becoming friendly throughout the years. So when it came time for Iguodala to try to slow the man whose peak just keeps getting higher, there was no one better equipped for the call."Of course you can't stop LeBron," said his stepfather, who came into his life when Iguodala was eight years old and who was there for him at every turn. "We all know that. But what they fail to understand is LeBron came in the league one year before Andre, and Andre is from Illinois, LeBron is from Ohio. They moved around on that AAU circuit. They went to the Olympics together (in 2012), so he knows LeBron, he knows his tendencies."The evidence of Iguodala's impact was there for all to see. He slowed the Cavs' mack truck just enough to avoid the unlikely upset, with James' incredible production sullied only by the 39.8% shooting percentage that Iguodala had everything to do with. He was the extra offensive threat they needed, too, especially with All-Star Klay Thompson struggling to score during the series. In all, he averaged 16.3 points (52.1% shooting overall, 40% from three-point range), 5.8 rebounds and four assists per game.But he couldn't have reached this point if he hadn't prioritized the team over himself at the start of the season, when it was quite clear that he didn't like Kerr's move but he decided to accept it. It certainly wasn't the first time he'd chosen winning over individual glory."He made some sacrifices (when he signed with the Warriors two summers ago), turned down bigger offers, made a sacrifice coming in knowing that he could compete for a championship," his agent, Rob Pelinka said. "And then when Steve approached him about coming off the bench for the greater good of the team, I saw 'Dre do a lot of soul searching. He's an incredibly confident and incredibly patient guy, and he knew that if he gave it a try things would come back around, and they did in the biggest way."Leonard Shanklin added: "When I talked to him, I told him I didn't like it. He really didn't comment on it. He wanted a championship, and whatever that sacrifice was, he was willing to do it. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, 'OK.'"That was the remarkable part of how they got to this point, this title that ended a 40-year drought for the once-futile Warriors franchise. There were danger zones at every turn, moves that were made that could have backfired if the culture didn't hold up. But of all the moves that were made – from the Iguodala-as-super-sub decision to Draymond Green starting over David Lee and all the rest – none threatened to change it all more than the Kevin Love trade that nearly happened last summer.As non-trades go, they don't get much bigger than this. The then-Minnesota Timberwolves star was the shiny object that they surely had to think about, even if it meant they'd lose Thompson in the deal, but two guiding principles kept keeping them from giving that thumbs up: the desire to be elite defensively, something that Thompson would surely help with and L and the power of progressive growth that they didn't want to get in the way of.Even they admit that a title didn't seem to be in the cards back then, but they knew this group was something special."What we decided as an organization was to bet on continuity, to bet on giving the roster a chance," Warriors general manager Bob Myers told USA TODAY Sports. "We'd taken the Clippers to seven games (in the first round) the previous year, without a center – we didn't have (Andrew) Bogut or (Festus) Ezeli. We had not given this current roster, with the addition of (Shaun) Livingston and (Leandro) Barbosa, a real chance to show us what they can do."But so many forces are pushing you to be impatient, and it's sometimes hard to pause and say, 'You know what? Let's let this play itself out. Let's give this team a chance.' We had just hired Steve, so let's give Steve a chance (with that roster). That was the mindset behind the decision."Make no mistake, Kerr deserves a world of credit for what they did. His boldness is what took this team to the next level, and his willingness to create an inclusive environment bred the kind of creativity that played a pivotal part until the end – never moreso than the Game 4 lineup change that he publicly credited to his 28-year-old special assistant, Nick U'Ren.But Kerr knows more than anyone that they all played a part here, that this doesn't happen without the collaborative element that made it all work. He learned that much right at the start, in a meeting with owner Joe Lacob, Myers and others inside the team's practice facility in which he painted a picture of how he would use his new team.Draymond Green, the 25-year-old second-rounder who Kerr would later call the "heart and soul" of the Warriors, wasn't pegged for that starting power forward role when it all began. As Myers remembers it, he had Green down for an average of approximately 12 minutes per game."Not enough (minutes)," Myers said with a laugh. "But I think the thing to take away from that was that you don't appreciate Draymond until you're with him every day. We just said (to Kerr), 'Let's just leave his (minutes) number blank for now. Don't pigeon hole him, and just see what happens.'"I think even (former Warriors coach) Mark Jackson would tell you that (Green) is a guy who a coach can't find ways to take out of the game. He's a hard guy to take out of the game. And until you're with him every day, and seeing him practice and see him on the floor, it's hard to appreciate that until you see it."He would see it eventually, and they would all grow together en route to a title that no one saw coming. Iguodala was the one holding the individual trophy at the end, and there was a certain irony in that. The Most Valuable Player award's namesake, the great Bill Russell, was wired that way too. As even he would certainly agree, it's the Larry O'Brien version that they all shared that mattered most."If you do your job the right way, the product will be there in the end," said Christina Gutierrez, Iguodala's girlfriend and mother of their eight-year-old son, Andre II. "He was confident in all of their abilities as a team. So his thing was, 'Continue to stay focused. Do what we've done. Don't get ahead of yourself, because that's when you get knocked down.'"Instead, it's Cloud Nine and beyond for the Warriors.PHOTOS: 2015 NBA FINALSPost to FacebookPosted!A link has been posted to your Facebook feed.
