If your wondering how New York and Golden State had dynasties, New York got Harry Gallatin in 1957 for his last years of his prime and Golden State sucked for a while after loosing Harry, netting them Oscar and Wilt. Thanks Harry.
We got our first Jersey Retirements and Hall Of Fame inductees. Ralph Siewert will have his jersey retired in Saint Louis once they get a team again in 70 odd years. Please like, flame and share this as it took me quite a while. Give me feedback and questions on anything that has happened and take a look at 1947-1956 to get even more info.
