7 Pieces Of Warriors Gear That Prove You're A Real Member Of Dub Nation

OAKLAND (CBS SF) -Do you feel surrounded by imposters? People who have no business doing it are claiming to be original Dub Nation members who have been there through it all? Sure, there's room for everyone on the bandwagon, but the front seats are reserved for those of us who have suffered.

It's time to separate the phonies from the true fans, and the best way to do that is with good old fashioned evidence. Here's what you need to do: Go digging in your closet and pull out the gear that proves you've been faithful though all of those awful, awful seasons. If you remember cheering for Rony Seiklay, or thinking that Tom Gugliotta was the big man the Warriors have been waiting for, then chances are you'll have enough of this stuff to prove you're legit.

1 We believe T-shirt

Let's start off with an easy one. They gave away thousands of these shirts when Barron Davis led the Warriors back to the playoffs in 2007. Anyone who sat through the nearly two-decade postseason drought leading up to that moment held on to this freebie.
Scoring: Have a "We Believe" shirt? 10 points. Have Snoop's "We Believe" shirt? 50 points.

2 Anything Shot Out Of A Cannon By Thunder

Before his disappearance sometime around 2007, Thunder had the enviable task of firing up a crowd that was accustomed to watching one of the worst teams in the league. Maybe that's why the inexplicably put him on the logo for a while there? Love him or hate him, Thunder did his best to keep us in our seats during some horrible basketball.
Scoring: You have a Thunder logo jacket? 30 points. You are Thunder? You're alive!

3 Run TMC Poster
Defense? Who cares about defense. This trio could drop 100 points without even lacing up their all black kicks, and they had one of the best nicknames in Bay Area sports history.

Scoring: 25 points If you still have the poster . 15 points If you only had the Tim Hardaway 'Diehard' poster.

4 The Tim & Chris Burger

I still don't get why they thought the ad was funny, but I sure remember thinking I needed one.
Scoring: Ever eat one of these? 15 points. Still have one of these? -100 points.

5 The Sarunas Dunking Skull Jersey

Sure, your average hoops fan remembers Jordan, Magic, Mullin and the rest of the "Dream Team" winning gold in the Barcelona Olympics, but another beloved Warrior, Šarūnas Marčiulionis, was accomplishing something even more amazing, helping his 2-year-old nation win the bronze. That feat was made possible with the financial help of the Bay Area's own Grateful Dead. As they stood on the podium collecting their medals, Sarunas and the rest of the Lithuanian National Team wore Dead-inspired tie-dye shirts.
Scoring: If you have one of those shirts 40 points. 25 points for any Warriors Jersey with Sarunas or Manute Bol.

6 Original San Francisco Warriors Gear
The San Francisco Warriors logos were not the most culturally sensitive, but at least they had the old Philadelphia Warriors logo beat.

The team dropped the look at the end of the 60's, but you have to admit, if you can pull off this look you deserve to be a champion.

Scoring: 40 points For Original San Francisco Warrior gear. 0 points for a throwback.

7 Evidence of Wilt
"The Stilt" will always be best known for the 100 point game he had the year before, but when the Dubs moved west from Philly for the 62-63 season, Chamberlain was undeniably their biggest star. If you can prove you were in back then, you are truly a founding father of Dub Nation.

Scoring: Ticket stub from Wilt era 20 points. Picture with Wilt in a Warriors uni 100 points.

Final Tally

0-25 points - Manute Bol used to say "my bad." Time for you to do the same.

25-75 points - Not sure we spotted you getting loud for those Bimbo Coles teams.

75-125 points - Ok, I can imagine you yelling "Why Not Kobe?" when the Dubs drafted Todd Fuller in 1996.

125-175 points - You still need to hug it out about that Mitch Richmond trade, don't you? Swing by the CBS San Francisco offices anytime, friend.

175 or more points - Is this Rick Barry? Shouldn't you be teaching DeAndre Jordan to shoot a free-throw right now?
