Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 20 - Jim Walsh (1957-58)
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 second of 29 players who wore the No. 20 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State forward alum Jim Walsh. After ending his college career at Stanford, Walsh was picked up with the 21st overall selection of the 1952 NBA Draft by the (defunct) Baltimore Bullets.
The San Francisco, California native played his sole season in the NBA with the (then) Philadelphia (now, Golden State) Warriors instead, however.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Walsh wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 2.0 points and 1.5 rebounds per game.
