Rest in peace to a basketball legend, Don Nelson. 🙏

Nelson had a storied career as both a player and coach, but after retiring in 2010, he was rarely seen in public.

During the 2025 NBA Finals, Nelson reappeared to receive the NBA’s Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award.

To accept the award, Nelson wore a pair of Jordan Luka 4 “Gone Fishing” as a show of support for Luka Dončić following his trade from the Mavericks.

@swish41 That says everything about Nellie's impact. He didn't just coach Dirk, he gave him the freedom and belief to become the player who changed what people thought a 7-footer could be.

[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.

RIP Don Nelson

RIP to one of my favorite coaches, Don Nelson. 🕊️🙏🏾
Nellie was truly one of a kind. I’ll always appreciate the opportunity I had to play for him and everything I learned from him in that short “We Believe” year. He saw basketball differently, trusted his players, and wasn’t afraid to do things his own way. Rest easy, Coach. Truly one of the greatest to ever do it! Your impact on the game will never be forgotten.

rip nellie, thank you for making mavs basketball so fun for a huge past of my childhood

[Boston Celtics @celtics]

Don Nelson’s success as a Hall of Fame Coach is so vast, that it could overshadow his playing career, but it would be a mistake to do so. A favorite of Red Auerbach’s, “Nellie” was a tough and reliable all-around player whose tenacity and ability to “think the game” was on full display throughout his 11 seasons with the Boston Celtics, where he was a key member of five championship teams across two eras. His most celebrated moment as a player came in Game 7 of the 1969 NBA Finals against his former team the Los Angeles Lakers, when Nelson converted one of the most famous shots in playoff history—a foul-line jumper which dropped through the basket after hitting the back rim and bouncing several feet straight up. The shot, taken with just over a minute to go in the game and the Celtics clinging to a 103–102 lead, was an essential play in helping secure Boston's 11th NBA title in 13 seasons. Nellie’s number 19 was raised shortly after he retired following yet another championship season in 1976. The Celtics extend our deep condolences to Nelson’s family, loved ones, and everyone he touched through his rich and impactful life in basketball and beyond.

I'm sure I can speak for the several hundred of us in Gilley's Dallas on June 15 that we now feel extra-fortunate to have been there to say thank you and, it turns out, goodbye to Don Nelson.

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.
