Don Nelson, who died at 86, spent a lifetime in professional basketball not as its most celebrated figure but as one of its most consequential ones — a five-time champion with the Boston Celtics who understood winning from the inside, and a coach whose 1,335 victories stand second only in the long history of the NBA. His passing closes a rare kind of career, one that bridged the game's regional origins and its global present, always leaning toward what basketball was becoming rather than what it had been.
