10. player. 41. <p>It took a while for the Warriors to get back to the top of the NBA world, but that doesn’t mean they’ve had wasted year with players who weren’t any good. Part of the heartbreak of the Warriors is that they’ve had so many solid players over the years but haven’t been able to string together title runs.</p> <p>That appears to be over, and in the process they’ve added to their all-time lineup and given the world a new superstar to root for — or against — in the discussion of the best teams of all-time.</p> <p><span style=. 1946 - Present. Western Conference. Golden State Warriors

Golden State Warriors. STEPH CURRY. PG. He has taken a while to settle in with the rest of the NBA as a superstar talent, but Steph Curry has always been a star to Warriors fans. He’s improved his shooting ten-fold since being drafted and is already one of the best sharpshooting point guards of all time. He’s still young, but his place as the best point guard in Dubs history and their surest bet on an all-time roster is already secure.. Point Guard

The ‘M’ in the infamous Run TMC of the late 80s Warriors lineup, Mitch Richmond still has a special place in the hearts of Dubs fans. He spent most of his career with the Sacramento Kings, but while with the Warriors Richmond displayed what he can do with a talented cast around him. Putting him with co-satrs like Steph Curry and Wilt Chamberlain would only make Richmond even more dangerous.. Shooting Guard. Golden State Warriors. MITCH RICHMOND. SG

SF. Barry is one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history, and having him at the three for the Warriors in this lineup is almost unfair. During his career, Barry was always a scoring threat but was a defensive force as well. A well rounded legend, Barry next to the names on the Dubs all-time roster is just all sorts of nasty that teams won’t match up well against.. Small Forward. Golden State Warriors. RICK BARRY

Golden State Warriors. CHRIS WEBBER. PF. Chris Webber is starting to become more well known as an announcer for TNT, but go YouTube some of his highlights from his playing career to remind yourself of just how special he was. Warriors fans remember, and if he’s in the same front court as Wilt <em>and </em>Rick Barry, look out.. Power Forward

Golden State Warriors. WILT CHAMBERLAIN. C. There are legendary centers in the game, iconic players — and then there is Wilt. He really only needs to go by one name, because Wilt Chamberlain <em>is</em> basketball royalty. He’s what you should strive to be, he’s the one everyone is chasing and he’s the legend who can’t be topped. Can you really leave him off this roster?. Center
