The Warriors nickname 'Dubs' comes from the fact that the Warriors' first game was played at 'dubs' arena on the most easterly end of the pier.

Because the Warriors play in California and California is called "The Golden State," like Florida is called "The Sunshine State."

Because maybe it's short for the pronuciation of "W", the first letter in "Warriors"?

Does the nickname "Dubya" ring a bell?
