Legendary former Mavericks coach Don Nelson made a bold fashion statement at the NBA finals, rocking Luka Dončić's sneakers while accepting an award. This wasn't just a style choice – it was a protest. Nelson openly criticized Dallas' decision to trade the superstar to the Lakers, calling it a "tremendous mistake." Talk about wearing your heart (and your grievances) on your feet.

Editor’s Note: When a Hall of Fame coach – especially one with Mavericks ties – publicly trashes a franchise-altering trade, it's more than just drama. Nelson's stunt highlights how polarizing superstar trades can be, and how even basketball legends can't resist stirring the pot during the NBA's biggest stage. For Mavericks fans, it's salt in the wound; for Lakers critics, it's fresh ammo. Either way, it keeps the "what if?" debate alive.
