To commemorate the players who wore those numbers,\u00a0Warriors<\/a>\u00a0Wire 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 third of four players who wore the No. 13 jersey for the\u00a0Warriors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That player would be Golden State forward alum Larry Smith. After ending his college career at Alcorn State, Smith was picked up with the 24th overall selection of the 1980 NBA draft by the Warriors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Rolling Fork, Mississippi native would play the first nine seasons of his pro career with OKC, coming to an end when he signed with the Houston Rockets<\/a> in 1989.<\/p>\n

During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Smith wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 8.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game.<\/p>\n
