Golden State Warriors fans and basketball history buffs might recall the name John Rudometkin, a player who briefly donned the iconic Warriors jersey number 34 in the 1965 season. While his time with the team was short, his contribution to the Warriors' legacy deserves recognition.

Rudometkin exclusively wore jersey number 34 during his tenure with the Warriors. During that season, he averaged 6.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. These statistics, while modest, reflect his role as a supporting player within the team's roster.

Rudometkin’s career in the NBA was relatively brief, but his association with the Warriors provides a glimpse into the team's history and the players who contributed, even in a smaller capacity. The number 34, now carried by other Warriors players, holds a connection to this earlier chapter of the franchise’s story. Remembering players like Rudometkin helps to illustrate the evolution of the Golden State Warriors and the diverse talents that have graced the court over the years.
