How One Owner’s Ego Nearly Destroyed the Mavericks
19 comments
Cuban sold the team to non-Texan non-basketball owners who only care about money.
Cuban is not the good guy or the victim.
Does that shit say AOL?
Really really low quality article that just summarizes what happened since Cuban bought the team (and somehow skips over Luka taking us to the finals) and doesn’t at all pay off the title
Cuban obviously made a mistake selling to the Adelsons, but this putting it on “his ego” and “need to control everything” makes literally no sense. He just cashed out. It’s not really that complex.
Yes, ego nearly destroyed the Mavs, but it was Nico’s ego not Mark’s.
Fuck mark
My final Cuban straw was when he told the fans to sit the fuck down. Everything he says just gives me the icks now.
You misspelled greed
Cuban wants to own a casino (partially)
As bad as jerrah is, he loves the team and the brand. He wouldn’t ever sell it, it’s not all business to him.
Fuck Mark Cuban. He is responsible for this mess
Such fucking funny timing.
Lost me at “but nothing really clicked” in referring to Kyrie and Luka together.
poorly written, missing a ton of crucial details. aol still exists?
How ironic this is posted on the same day that Stein broke the news that Cuban is trying to buy back the Mavs
Cuban explicitly said he sold the team because he didn’t want his kids to feel pressured into taking over the business. He also wanted more freedom to spend with his family. I don’t see how anyone can blame him for doing what’s best for his family.
This is a paid article.
Not to say Cuban is blameless, but this is clearly a (poorly written) hit piece.
I think this article is good news.
This is clearly a hit piece (a very poorly written on).
Who would pay for something like this? Could it be the Adelsons? Could this be a confirmation regarding earlier reports of Cuban trying to buy back the Mavs? I think it may just be….
Greediness got you bitch Mark?
I’m old enough to remember the 1990’s and how terrible the mavericks were before he bought them, besides the Jason Kidd’s rookie season. While I agree that he chose the wrong fucking people to sell it to last time, you can’t say he’s left the team worse than he when he bought it.
This is such a shit article
“After that, the front office kept making questionable decisions, like bringing in Kyrie Irving, a talented player with a history of controversy and inconsistency. Luka still put up huge numbers, but nothing really clicked”
LUKA AND KYRIE NEVER CLICKED? After that Cuban sold the team…?
