Don Nelson, now a marijuana farmer in Maui, profiled in HBO segment 

Post#1 » by HMFFL » Wed Jun 26, 2019 2:20 pm

Don Nelson, was 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.

Nelson grows his own marijuana, called "Nellie Kush," entirely for personal use.

I learned about this yesterday when watching a video about Bubba Wells' fastest foul-out in NBA history (against Rodman in 97, who was a member of the Bulls at the time).
