To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire 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 fifth of eight players who wore the No. 35 jersey for the Warriors.

That player would be Golden State big man alum Erick Dampier. After ending his college career at Mississippi State, Dampier was picked up with the 10th overall selection of the 1996 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers.

The Jackson, Mississippi native played the first season of his pro career with Indiana, coming to an end when he was dealt to the Dubs in 1997. His stay with the team lasted until he was dealt to the Dallas Mavericks in 2004.

During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Dampier wore only jersey Nos. 35 and 25 and put up 9.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.7 blocks per game.
