right about what? he's just a spoiled brat billionaire....crying like a little kid. Look at how much he's been fined for being stupid....it's ridiculous...

I like Cuban. Truth be told, I'm really jealous that he has so much money and owns the Mavericks. You're telling me you don't admire him?

I don't admire people because of how much money they have..I admire people for their personality, morals, etc. Now am I jealous that I don't have as much stitch as he does???? Maybe a little

I admire him for being a self-made millionaire, and I'm entertained by his antics. Definitely not BORING nor dispassionate.

Funny thing all the haters come out of woodwork when their teams are losing. But you know what? 2 weeks after the Finals are over, nobody is going to remember the refs, nobody is going to care about what Mark Cuban has said. People will remember who the champions are. The same haters talked smack about the NE Patriots during their Super Bowl run, kept reminding everyone how Jordan got all the calls. Let them whine, when the Champion is crowned nobody will care about what they have to say.

Uh . . . I LIKE the Mavericks. I don't HATE them.

hahah very true.

I got to meet him once. He came to Dekalb (had a microsolutions site here). at the time i was doing some work and knew a bunch of the poeple at the store.

Love or hate Cuban, you have to admire his passion for the game. This a guy that loves basketball and is proud of his team. He's at every game, shows up to most practices, and is a loud and rowdy fan.

Unlike really any other professional owner. He's not hulled up in a elite skybox away from the frenzy of the crowd...he's right there courtside cheering things on.

Hate him for his words, hate him for his money, just don't hate him for his passion and love for the game and his team.

No cr@p, your hating on the Heat, everything is because of the "refs"

Nowhere have I ever posted about the Heat . . . at least not in my recollection.

Spoiled brat? Not quite the words I would use to describe a self-made billionaire.

 

[kalster]

Dirk is such a soft player, he is so big you'd think he'd play harder

like him or hate him, Toine has been a factor in this series.

not a star but definitely a role player that has had an impact.

LOL, yeah I bet that shimmy on the floor he did had Cuban fuming.

 

[Bumrush99]

Haslem is making Dirk look like a coward.. no inside position, Dirk needs to grow some balls or it's over!!!!

He only weighs 245 pounds. Lebron James weighs that much and is 4" shorter. Haslem is only 10 pounds less and is 4" shorter.

Dirk, grow balls? That's like asking a cat to grow horns. It just won't happen.

It's amazing what happens when he stops jacking up horrible 3pt attempts and actually starts attacking the basket.

Yup. They're throwing up bricks and went 6 straight posessions without even getting the ball to the hoop. But it's the refs fault apparently.

So? Olajuwon and Robinson in the 90's were both taller and 250 lbs, and were forces inside.

 

[Babbles]

Dirk is really lacking tonight

:roll:

olajuwon was NEVER a true 7 footer. he's 6'10" max. Dirk is 7'.

 

[thelanx]

Mav's not looking good right now. They need to hustle more and get more fast break points, and move around on offense better. They need to stop forcing shots but still take the ball to the basket and not settle for jumpshots.

I love the Dream! He was so fluid in the paint. I remember emulating his patented move back in the day.
