Don Nelson's Legacy with the Warriors | Golden State Warriors News
Description
Legendary coach Don Nelson, who led the Golden State Warriors twice and reshaped modern basketball, has died at 86. Stephen Curry hailed him as the reason he was drafted, crediting Nelson for pushing him to greatness from day one — including that unforgettable night Nelson became the NBA’s all-time winningest coach. His Warriors legacy includes the electrifying “Run TMC” trio and the inspirational “We Believe” squad that stunned the Mavericks in 2007. With a half-century coaching career and five titles as a player with Boston, Nelson left an indelible mark across teams like Milwaukee, New York, and Dallas. Tributes poured in from stars like Steve Kerr, Baron Davis, and Dirk Nowitzki — proof of his enduring influence on the game.
