    "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...
