86 years old. Pretty good NBA coach. Had some really good teams in Milwaukee. Just couldn't beat Boston

Sad day today. One of the GOAT coaches. Met him twice and had good conversations both times. Even remembered who I was. He was a mountain of a man, gruff, but down to earth. Sad today.

Nellie is more well known today as a NBA head coach. But as a NBA player, he won 5 NBA championships. He was also well known as one of the Best 6th Man in League history.

Watched a documentary on him. He sure did like smoking weed in Hawaii with Woody Harrelson

Absolutely loved that man when he was at Dallas. Always a straight shooter and brought the Mavs to prominence. 2006 still depresses me. Avery got the credit for getting them to the Finals but he'll always be my reason they were there. He and Little Whistle Donnie are legends in Big D.

Rip Don. Listening to all the dream team cats, they worshipped him.

I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

Don was too cool in the Bay . I remember Matt Barnes telling a pretty good story about a time where he, Don, and Woody Harrelson had a smoke session back at Don’s penthouse after a playoff win in 07.

RIP coach

Lived his final years in the best way possible: blazing it up in Hawaii.
