Official Congratulations to the Warriors! The 85-year-old famous coach receives the Lifetime Achievement Award and speaks out to protest the Mavericks deal with Doncic

On June 9, former NBA coach Don Nelson officially won the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award. The 85-year-old legendary coach appeared in Doncic signature shoes to protest the Mavericks' deal with Doncic, and even bluntly said: This is a huge mistake.

Today, Old Nelson came to Oklahoma City to receive the award. According to famous reporter Anthony Slater, this is the first time that Old Nelson has left Maui (the second largest island in the Hawaiian Islands in the northern central Pacific Ocean).

At the press conference, Old Nelson specifically mentioned that he was wearing Luca Doncic's signature shoes, Luca Fourth Generation, to express his protest against the Dallas Mavericks' deal Doncic. He said: I think it is a huge mistake for the Mavericks to deal with him - I hope everyone knows this.

Nelson also said that his philosophy comes directly from Red Auerbach, that is, you "always respect great players" and you have to build around them and let them and the team do the best you can, rather than trade them out.

Speaking of why we believe in small players, Nelson said: There are hundreds of small guards who can shoot accurately.

Pacers coach Carlisle attended the press conference. They had worked with the Mavericks. Carlisle praised Old Nelson: He completely changed the game.
