The NBA is a better place with Don Nelson in it.
Now, I don’t think Nellie is going to win anything with the Warriors… one could actually make the argument that he’s become the Buck Showalter of the NBA — he can get teams pointed in the right direction, but it’s his successor that’ll get a ring.
That said, it takes a known noncomformist like Nelson to do something truly earth-shattering… like setting up a starting lineup that puts the best five guys on the floor, regardless of the positions listed on their basketball cards.
(Do they still make basketball cards?)
