Former Warriors Coach Don Nelson on his retirement: ‘Yeah, I’ve been smoking some pot’
- Thread starter Squarehard
- Start date
Dude retired to Hawaii and plays cards and smokes with Willie Nelson and Woody Harrelson on the regular, what a life
And owns a business he says is pretty successful. I mean damn that's great.
I could imagine coaching in the NBA being incredible stressful.

LMAO. You got hear the Stephen Jackson story when Don and Baron Davis found out they were cleared for weed:
"Nobody knows this story, so this is the first time somebody is hearing this. We're in Utah and the drug test people are around, you know, to get our last drug test so we can smoke, right? Don Nelson, we talked about weed all the time, he was cool with talking about weed. We got our last test in Utah, right? So me and Baron [Davis] are coming out the locker room just screaming, excited with our last pink slip saying we could smoke for the rest of the season and Don Nelson hauls ass down there giving us high fives like, "Yeah, we can smoke now!" It was cool, the fact that he knows what's going on off the court with his players, which was great man. We enjoyed it. That's why we were a great team."

It's still funny to think Nelly in the past could get under his player's skin so much that they resort to choking him.
How time flies.

Lol this is why I laughed when he said he didn't do it while he coached or played, what a damn lie
In a country where it is illegal and people go batshit crazy about it, he pretty much had to say that. The negative press and outrage would have been ridiculous.
Apparently he doesn't just smoke it but grows it as well. He regularly talks with Tom Tolbert on KNBR radio and is a common point of discussion, lol.
