http://sports.yahoo.com/photos/top-...rs-slideshow/john-paxson-photo-461561934.html Says something about how Phil Jackson coached...
Was worth clicking on the link just for this image - "Nelson is best known for his innovations as both a head coach and personnel chief, but he also was a longtime Boston Celtic and crucial member of an overmatched 1969 crew that somehow managed to win Game 7 of that year’s Finals on the road." I really didn't realize Nelson was actually an important part to some of the C's titles. I barely even remembered that he was a former player...
He gets a lot of shiet for never making the finals as a coach, but he won 5 championships with the Celtics and was a really good 6th man. Two time all american in college too.
