      Photos: Al Attles, A Warrior Through and Through

      1 / 12The 39th pick of the 1960 draft by the then-Philadelphia Warriors, Attles came from a small school, North Carolina A&T.

      thumbnail-image: The 39th pick of the 1960 draft by the then-Philadelphia Warriors, Attles came from a small school, North Carolina A&T.
      thumbnail-image: Attles spent 11 years playing for the team and finished with 711 games played, currently the fifth most in the franchise’s history.
      thumbnail-image: Attles’ was one of the first African-Americans to hold the position of head coach in any of the major professional sports, a fact that he downplayed at every opportunity.
      thumbnail-image: Attles led the Warriors to six postseasons over 14 years, including it’s first Bay Area championship in 1975, and followed that up by winning a then-franchise record 59 games in 1975-76.
      thumbnail-image: Attles has been with the Warriors in one capacity or another since 1960, the longest uninterrupted streak of any person for one team.
      thumbnail-image: Attles has continued to serve in a variety of capacities for the team, including administrator and dedicated community ambassador.
      thumbnail-image: Rick Barry, who played both with and under Attles, said Al's teams focussed on teamwork: “We were a team of the highest order.”
      thumbnail-image: The late Scotty Stirling, who worked in the Warriors’ front office from 1976-82, said of Attles: “He always felt his actions spoke louder than anything he could say about it.”
      thumbnail-image: Attles coached 1,075 games and amassed 557 wins, both Warriors franchise records, posting a .518 winning percentage.
      thumbnail-image: Attles' #16 is one of just six Warriors numbers to be retired — along with Rick Barry (#24), Wilt Chamberlain (#13), Tom Meschery (#14), Chris Mullin (#17) and Nate Thurmond (#42).
      thumbnail-image: Long-time Warriors broadcaster Jim Barnett, who played under Attles for three seasons, said when he thinks of Al, “I think of a gentleman.”
      thumbnail-image: Forever a dedicated Warrior, Attles’ nearly 60-year commitment to the team, community, and fanbase will be immortalized with his enshrinement in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.
