Hah! I should have chosen my qualifiers more carefully. Attles is right and I'm ancient so I remember listening to some of that season on the radio with Kieth (soon to be Jamaal) Wilkes and Rick Barry leading the way for the hometown Warriors!
Now I lived in the foothills South of Yosemite (near 41) so kids had to choose whether we wanted to be LA fans or SF fans. I always rooted for the SF teams which was tough going when your friends were rooting for the 70s Dodger and Lakers. That Warriors season did a lot to even the scales.
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
