Nellie… You didn't just draft me. You believed in me. You saw things in my game before I ever realized I could do them. I've said it a million times and I will always say it: I don't think my career could have turned out how it did without you being my first coach and giving me the freedom to play my game. I can only say THANK YOU. For everything.

RIP legend.

[Luka Dončić @lukadoncic]

It’s a sad day for basketball with the passing of Don Nelson.

I have so much respect for him and everything he did for the game, especially the way he believed in international players. I’m grateful for the time I spent with him.

Thinking of the entire Nelson family today. I loved getting to know you, Coach.

The Mavs are offering a "bounty" to whoever unpacks Cooper Flagg's one-of-one debut patch autographed card. The package includes two Mavs season premium lower level tickets for 32 years, a signed, game-worn Flagg rookie jersey and postgame pic.
