On
Monday, Milwaukee Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer was named NBA Coach of
the Year for 2019. On Tuesday night, the last man to win that award for
the Bucks, Don Nelson, will be profiled on HBO's "Real Sports with
Bryant Gumbel," profiling his life of retirement farming marijuana in
Hawaii.
Nelson, who was named coach
of the year with the Bucks in 1983 and 1985, helped build the Bucks into
one of the powers of the Eastern Conference in the early 1980s and has
been hailed by such greats as Pat Riley as one of the greatest
innovators the game has ever seen. Nelson, who also put the building
blocks in place that turned the Golden State Warriors into today's NBA
superpower, has been out of coaching for nine years and has found a
chill next chapter living in Maui.
