Back in February, ahead of a Golden State Warriors game, Don Nelson was asked what he's been up to since he retired. 'I've been smoking some pot,' Nelson said. 'But I never smoked when I played or coached...' Turns out, he now does that every day.
The answer from the ex-NBA coach, who last coached for the Warriors in 2010, made everyone in the room burst out laughing."I've been smoking some pot," Nelson said."But I never smoked when I played or coached, so it's new to me."Turns out, he now does that every day.In an interview with HBO's"Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," Nelson revealed that he grows marijuana on his farm in Maui.
Nelson retired from coaching as the NBA's winningest coach. He coached four teams over his 30-year career, but he was best known for his time with Golden State, where he won 422 games. Nelson is largely credited with building the groundwork for the modern dominance of the Warriors, including drafting Stephen Curry in 2009.His imprint on how the game is played today is felt elsewhere, too. He was the first coach to give a 7-footer the greenlight to shoot from three-point range.
