His journey began in 1960, and he became an integral part of the team, contributing significantly to their success over eleven seasons. Attles was a key player on the 1964 Warriors team that reached the NBA Finals and again in 1967, when they faced the Philadelphia 76ers in a fiercely contested six-game series.
