Luka Doncic reacts to Don Nelson ripping Mavericks for trading him
Luka Doncic reacts to Don Nelson ripping Mavericks for trading him 127 days after the trade, former Mavs head coach Don Nelson discusses his Luka trade protest… with Luka's former coach Rick Carlisle right next to him — Mavs Film Room 🐴🎥 (@MavsFilmRoom) June 8, 2025 Recently, during an NBA Finals press conference, Don Nelson was given the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award for his many years as a former NBA head coach. His head coaching career started in the 1976-77 season with the Milwaukee Bucks, and he spent 11 seasons there while guiding some very good and underrated teams. Today's fans perhaps know him best as the head coach of those Dallas Mavericks teams in the early 2000s that were among the first to play modern-day "pace and space" basketball. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2012 as a head coach. At the press conference, Nelson showed solidarity with the Mavericks franchise while protesting the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in February. He wore a pair of Doncic's sneakers and had the following message. "Luka, too, my dear friend, in fact, I want everybody to know I am wearing Luka's shoes, his new shoes from Nike," Nelson said. "Just got on the market. I'm wearing them in protest for the trade from Dallas. I think it was a tremendous mistake by the Dallas franchise to trade him -- and I want everybody to know that." Doncic, in turn, tweaked Nelson a bit with a post on Instagram. Luka with a message for former Mavs Head Coach Don Nelson on his IG story: 'Congratulations Coach! Nice shoes!' — Mavs Film Room 🐴🎥 (@MavsFilmRoom) June 9, 2025 Before Nelson became a head coach, he had a successful 14-year playing career in the NBA. He actually spent two seasons early in his career with the Lakers, but he played 13 seasons with the Boston Celtics, a franchise he won five world championships with in the 1960s and 1970s. His last coaching gig ended with the 2009-10 season when he was at the helm of the Golden State Warriors during Stephen Curry's rookie year.

Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte is getting a divorce in Florida, and we have details
Divorces are rarely pretty, but Ryan Lochte's is shaping up to be a doozy. Two months after the Olympic swimmer's wife, Kayla Rae Reid, filed for divorce in their home state of Florida, the exes' personal problems are coming to light. Last week, the parents of three, married since 2018, announced their split (separately) on Instagram. 'Earlier this year, I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,' wrote Reid, 33. 'I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing, and challenging seasons of my life.' According to Alachua County court records obtained by the Miami Herald, the former Playboy model filed for a dissolution of marriage in Gainesville, Fla., where they reside, back in March. Among the challenges the realtor may have been alluding to are serious financial problems. Us Weekly reveals the estranged pair have racked up more than $270,000 in debt. This includes money owed to the Internal Revenue Service (for the years 2021 and 2022) as well to medical professionals. In addition, a lien of $2,231.76 was filed on their house by their homeowners association over special assessments, late fees, costs of collection and more the outlet reports. 'I've come to understand that staying isn't always the most loving decision someone can make,' continued Reid. 'For me, leaving was an act of love — for those around me and for myself.' As for Lochte, 40, his Instagram post said he was 'committed to healing, growth, and co-parenting with care and respect' in their new chapter. The 40-year-old UF alum also alluded to challenges, saying it was a 'difficult decision' to go their separate ways. 'Although [it] hasn't been easy, I believe it's the right step toward peace and well-being for both.'
