A few days ago, the Lone Ranger held a grand jersey retirement ceremony for Nowitzki at home. At the retirement ceremony, Nowitzki thanked the Nelson father and son in a key way. His success in the NBA has a lot to do with the nelsons' father and son's encounter.
At the beginning, Nelson Jr. poached Nowitzki from Germany to the NBA and accompanied him throughout his career. As a head coach, he took a different approach when training Nowitzki, not choosing to let Nowitzki gain weight, but letting him stick to his style and what he is good at. These persistences ultimately made Nowitzki.
Regrettably, neither Nelson Sr. nor Nelson Jr. did not appear at the jersey retirement ceremony. Recently, the elder Nelson talked about the reasons for his absence in an interview. He said: "I didn't get an invitation, I really wanted to go, but if I didn't get an invitation, I shouldn't have come uninvited. So I didn't go. I don't know if Nelson Jr. got an invitation. ”
According to the Lone Ranger, the Novus family personally contacted the Nelson father and son and invited them to watch the game and participate in the ceremony, and the two sources could not figure out why Nelson would say that he had not received the invitation. But Nelson then gave his own explanation, arguing that Nowitzki did not have the right to invite the ceremony, and Cuban was in charge.
Apparently, Nelson was targeting Cuban. But Cuban himself didn't know why Nelson wasn't invited. "I was told Nelson would be there. I haven't spoken to the person in charge yet, so I don't know what the specific situation is. ”
In fact, Nelson Sr. did not have a harmonious relationship with Cuban. While coaching the Lone Rangers, the elder Nelson was furious that Cuban had let Nash go. Now, Nelson Jr. has also left the lone ranger management position, and it is difficult to say that there is no contradiction between the two sides.
