Nelson is being presented with the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award prior to Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday.

Hall of Fame head coach and former Dallas Mavericks coach Don Nelson called out the team's decision to trade Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2024-25 season.

Don Nelson is an NBA legend, a Hall of Famer who ranks second all-time in head coaching wins. He was both coach and GM for the Dallas Mavericks for eight years during the early Dirk Nowitzki years, and it turns out he does not approve of the Luka Doncic trade.
