Alvin Austin Attles Jr. (born November 7, 1936) is an American retired professional basketball player and coach best known for his longtime association with the Golden State Warriors.
He is a graduate of Weequahic High School in Newark and North Carolina A&T State University. He has a bachelor's degree in Physical Education and History along with a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. He intended to just be a coach at his local junior high school when he was drafted by the Warriors. He initially declined before accepting and going to training camp.
Attles joined the then-Philadelphia Warriors in 1960. On March 2, 1962 he was the team's second-leading scorer with 17 points on the night Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points. There is a probably apocryphal story to the effect that one of the sportswriters covering the game began his filing with the lede "HERSHEY, Pa. -- Wilt Chamberlain and Al Attles combined for 117 points last night as the Philadelphia Warriors defeated the New York Knicks 169-147." Attles moved with the team to the Bay Area at the end of the 1962 season, playing until 1971. Attles was known as "The Destroyer" due to his defensive specialities along with once punching a player in the jaw. He was a role player on the 1964 Warriors team (with Wilt Chamberlain and Guy Rodgers) that made the NBA Finals and eventually lost the championship series to the Boston Celtics, four games to one. Attles also played on the Warriors' 1967 team that lost to Chamberlain's 68-13 Philadelphia 76ers in an evenly matched, six-game championship series.

Hey look there's a hole in my floorboard
What's that there's a hole in my jeans
And who left that hole in my closet
Well, there's a hole in my bed where he used to be
I got a whole lotta holes in my life
I got a whole lotta holes in my life
If you stacked them all together you could fall in there forever
Got a whole lotta holes in my life
Well, there's holes in the toes of my stockings
And there's gold in the holes in my teeth
And who left that hole in my wallet
And a hole in my chest where my heart used to be
I got a whole lotta holes in my life
I got a whole lotta holes in my life
If you stacked them all together you could fall in there forever
Got a whole lotta holes in my life
Well, there must be a hole in my ceiling
'Cause this rain keeps falling on me
And I'm beginning to feel this feeling
Like there's a hole in my head for letting him leave
I got a whole lotta holes in my life
I got a whole lotta holes in my life
If you stacked them all together you could fall in there forever
Got a whole lotta holes in my life
I got a whole lotta holes in my life, bye
Got a whole lotta holes in my life
Whole lotta, whole lotta, whole lotta holes
Whole lotta, whole lotta, whole lotta holes
Whole lotta, whole lotta, whole lotta holes
Whole lotta, whole lotta, whole lotta holes
