Don Nelson, the second-winningest coach in NBA history, passed away on Sunday at the age of 86. His death was announced by the Golden State Warriors, one of the teams he coached. Nelson won five championships as a player with the Boston Celtics and is one of only two coaches to achieve at least 250 wins with three different franchises: Milwaukee, Dallas, and Golden State. He was named Coach of the Year three times and reached the playoffs 18 times in 31 seasons. Nelson is credited with popularizing the 'point forward' position and a fast-paced offensive style. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2012.
