Don Nelson has gone from the grind of life in the NBA for 5 decades to retiring off the grid to become a pot farmer – and smoker – in Hawaii. Nelly also likes playing poker, and shared a pretty macabre story about it with Bryant Gumble on HBO’s Real Sports.
Nelson said on one occasion one of his longtime poker buds literally died during a game in his mancave, but instead of calling 911 to get the body out, the group decided to finish the game with the poor dude’s corpse still sitting at the table like Weekend at Bernie’s. That must be some killer ganja up there.
