OKLAHOMA CITY -- Hall of Fame coach Don Nelson was not a fan of the Dallas Mavericks trading Luka Doncic -- and chose his footwear for Game 2 of the NBA Finals accordingly.
Nelson arrived for the news conference announcing him as the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award winner, as selected by the National Basketball Coaches Association, wearing a pair of Doncic's signature Jordan Brand sneaker.
The reason: He was showing Doncic -- who he calls "my dear friend" -- support.
"As a matter of fact, I want everybody to know I'm wearing Luka's shoes, his new shoes from Nike that just got on the market," Nelson said.
