He hosts local poker games with celebrities such as Willie Nelson, Woody Harrelson, and Owen Wilson. "All I can tell you is he's happy.

Mike75 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 One of the most overrated coaches, but he’s lived a great life. Good for him. As a player he won 5 NBA Championships and played a total of 15 seasons 11 with Boston and 1,053 games from 1962 thru 1976 and led the NBA in field-goal percentage in 1974–75 at age 34, the oldest and shortest player to do so. Nelson played his last season in 1976, and won his 5th NBA Championship as Boston defeated the Phoenix Suns in the 1976 NBA Finals 4-2. His number 19 jersey was retired to the Boston Garden rafters in 1978. Nelson scored 10,898 points,had 5,192 rebounds and 1,526 assists in his career. As a head coach On December 29, 2001, Don Nelson became the third coach in NBA history to win 1,000 games, behind Lenny Wilkens and Pat Riley. Don Nelson defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves on April 7, 2010, achieving his 1,333rd career win. He passed Lenny Wilkens for first all-time on the list of the NBA's winningest coaches. Nelson was 3× NBA Coach of the Year (1983, 1985, 1992), In 1994, Nelson coached the Team USA national basketball team and led them to the Gold Medal. In 2012, Nelson was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. An innovator, Nelson is credited with, among other things, pioneering the concept of the point forward, a tactic which is frequently employed by teams at every level today. His unique brand of basketball is often referred to as Nellie Ball. He was named one of the Top 10 coaches in NBA history. As a 15 year player Nelson won 5 NBA Titles and had his jersey retired then as a 35 year head coach won over 1,000 games eventually becoming first all-time on the list of the NBA's winningest coaches. He coached US team to a gold metal. Was NBA Coach of the Year 3 times and was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike75 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Nelson didnt win a title as head coach but he did improve every team he coached..... For instance.... Nelson to lead the Bucks to seven straight Central Division championships with over 50 wins in each of those seasons. He earned NBA Coach of the Year honors in 1983 and 1985. For seven straight years, finishing no worse than second best in the Eastern Conference. In Golden State he coached the Warriors to a 23-game turnaround of their previous season and back into the playoffs. He was named NBA Coach of the Year a third time in the 1991-92 season. Nelson had made the playoffs with Golden State in four of his six seasons there; the Warriors did not qualify for the playoffs for the next 12 seasons, until he returned to the team in 2006. Nelson then went to Dallas and was named head coach and general manager of the Mavericks in 1997 trading the draft rights of Robert Traylor and Pat Garrity for Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash, whom he wanted to pair with the Mavericks rising star Michael Finley. Nelson coached the Mavericks to four consecutive 50-win seasons. The height of their success was a 60-win season in 2002-03, when they reached Western Conference Finals against the Spurs. In 2006, Nelson returned to the Warriors for a second stint as coach. Chris Mullin, a favorite of Nelson's from his first stint as Warriors head coach, was the team's general manager. The Warriors closed out the season strong and just managed to qualify for the 2007 playoffs. Nelson faced his old team, the Mavericks, in the first round of the playoffs. The Mavs had the NBA's best record, and were a pick to win the NBA championship that year. In one of the biggest upsets in NBA playoff history, Nelson coached the 8th-seeded Warriors to series victory over the top-seeded Mavericks in six games. It was numerically the largest upset in the history of the NBA playoffs, with the 67–15 Mavericks' regular-season win-loss record 25 games better than the 42–40 Warriors. In 2008 the Warriors finished 48–34 that season-their most wins since 1993–94 (during his first stint as coach). In the 2009 NBA draft, Nelson agreed with Larry Riley to draft Stephen Curry with their seventh overall pick despite skepticism from critics. Curry went on to win back-to-back MVP awards and helped lead Golden State to championships in 2015, 2017, and 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike75 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 You would have to put Nelson as one of the most influential people in the NBA over a 50 year span as a player/head coach from the 1960's through the 2000's winning multiple NBA titles,having his jersey retired,winning a gold metal as head coach,winning over 1000 games and becoming the winningest head coach in NBA history,being put into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. He pretty much did it all..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
