The1974–75Golden State Warriors season was the 29th season in the franchise's history, its 13th inCalifornia and the fourth playing inOakland. After four seasons of second-place division finishes, the Warriors made various changes.Nate Thurmond was traded to theChicago Bulls forClifford Ray, a young defensive center.^[1] The club draftedKeith Wilkes (later known as Jamaal Wilkes), whose nickname was "Silk".Cazzie Russell had played out his option and joined the Los Angeles Lakers, leavingRick Barry as the team's leader. Coach Al Attles implemented a team-oriented system that drew on the contributions of as many as ten players during a game. Barry scored 30.6 points per game, led the NBA in free throw percentage and steals per game, and was sixth in the league in assists per game. The Warriors captured the Pacific Division title with a 48–34 record.^[1] This was the Warriors’ third championship, and first since they were in Philadelphia in 1956.

In theplayoffs, the Warriors got to the Western Conference Finals by beating theSeattle SuperSonics in six games.^[1] In the Western Finals, the Warriors looked like they were about to lose to former teammate Nate Thurmond. The Warriors found themselves down against the Chicago Bulls 3 games to 2. The Warriors rallied to win Game 6 in Chicago and took the series with an 83–79 Game 7 triumph in Oakland.^[1] In theNBA Finals, the Warriors faced off against theWashington Bullets. The Warriors took the series in four straight games, including 1-point wins in Games 2 and 4.^[1] Rick Barry was named thefinals MVP.

The Warriors would not make another NBA Finals appearance again until2015, where the team faced off against theCleveland Cavaliers and won its fourth league title. They would also go on to defeat the Cavaliers in2017 and2018, and would not win another championship after that until2022, where they defeated theBoston Celtics.
