In a stunning and heartwarming development that has electrified Golden State Warriors fans around the globe, former NBA legend Chris Mullin has officially returned to his old stomping grounds — but this time, as Senior Coaching Strategist.
The announcement was made early this morning at a press conference held at the Chase Center, with Warriors executives calling it “a homecoming decades in the making.” Mullin, a Hall of Famer and cornerstone of the franchise during the late ’80s and early ’90s, brings with him not just basketball brilliance but a deep understanding of Warriors culture.
“This is where my heart has always been,” said Mullin, visibly moved. “To return and contribute to this organization in a new way is something truly special.”
Fans erupted on social media and at the stadium gates, many donning vintage #17 jerseys in honor of the sharpshooting small forward who helped define an era of Warriors basketball.
Mullin’s Role & Impact
As Senior Coaching Strategist, Mullin will work closely with head coach Steve Kerr and his staff to provide insights on player development, offensive execution, and overall game strategy — an area where his high basketball IQ and experience are expected to make a massive impact.
Coach Kerr welcomed the addition:
“Chris is one of the greatest minds in basketball. Having him on board adds another layer of excellence to what we’re building here.”
A Legacy Reunited
Chris Mullin spent 13 seasons with the Warriors and was a five-time NBA All-Star. His return symbolizes a bridge between the franchise’s golden past and its championship-driven present.
Fans are already dreaming of what’s next — and hoping that Mullin’s basketball genius helps guide the Warriors back to the top of the NBA mountain.
