“Alvin Attles did not just epitomize what it meant to be a Warrior—he was Mr. Warrior. His tenacious playing style earned him the affectionate nickname of “The Destroyer” on the court, but it was his gentle soul, grace and humility off the court that served as a guiding light for the organization for more than six decades. As a player, coach, general manager, ambassador, and most of all, as a person, Alvin set the standards of professionalism and class by which we all strive to achieve.
He would play eleven seasons for the Warriors. Attles was known as "the Destroyer" for his physicality.Along the way, he coached Rick Berry, who score 64 points in a game against the Portland Trailblazers in 1974.
