Don Nelson, who spent more than five decades shaping professional basketball as both player and coach, died at 86, leaving behind a record second only to Lenny Wilkens in all-time NBA coaching victories. His life traced the arc of the sport itself — from Boston's championship dynasties of the 1960s through the experimental, system-driven basketball he championed with the Warriors and beyond. More than a winner, Nelson was a thinker, and the game he helped invent outlasted him.
