Don Nelson

Don Nelson earns 1,333th Win When the players take the court with Don Nelson at the reigns, a clash is guaranteed to occur. Whether it’s sooner or later, Nelson can and will find a way to be in direct opposition with his players, the management and the owners. The one fact that cannot be argued, he is now the NBA’s winningest coach. He now belongs with the elite coaches of the NBA as he has surpassed the likes of Lenny Wilkins in the win column. The big win came on Wednesday night when his Golden State Warriors defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in a 116-107 showdown. His players, whether they love him or hate him, were all happy to soak Don Nelson to the core on Wednesday night with a mixture of soft drinks and water as Nelson hit the locker room after the game.
