Is Mark Cuban good for basketball or other sports?

What do you think?

Is he good the way George Steinbrenner is good?

Is he out of control?

Is he nothing more than a rude fan with A LOT of money?

What are your thoughts?

Like I said before I think he is good press.Can many NBA fans name any other owners off the top of their head?Very few.He makes people watch just to see what he is going to do next.I do think he is nuttier than a fruit cake.

I wish the Toronto Maple Leafs had an owner like Cuban or Steinbrenner, guys who will spend the money to bring a winner to their city. Here in Toronto the Leafs are owned by the Teachers Pension Fund who only care about making a profit as far as I am concerned. Now I don't see anything wrong for an owner making a profit, they are in fact in business to do that but guys like George and Cuban care more about winning than the money they make from it, so from that standpoint they are tremendous owners in my opinion.


Damn how many owners do you know that would wear a uniform of one of their suspended players during the game in protest. Now that is the type of owner I would want leading my franchise

NO!!!! His big mouth and his antics caused his own team a legit chance at winning a ring.

Moloofs, (sp) You see them on the court every single game and never do you see them act like a child. I know he is rich and has made a lot of money but this guy makes me sick. I wanted to see Dallas lose just so I could watch him break down. He has a lot to learn.

He just likes the attn and does all he can to get it... Giving interviews on treadmills, going on letterman as if he already won the title, writing dumb ass blogs about how he wishes kids should be cursing... I hope he sells his team and i never have to hear about him. Not all rich ppl are like that he is worth 1.6 billion or something , heats owner is worth 6 or 7 billion and i never see him act like a dumbass

I have no problem with Cuban.

Is he outspoken and sometimes an ass?

Sure he is but there is no question that he is a real fan of the game and has done a great job for the Dallas franchise.

That is all that really matters.

He's a clown but you have to admire his passion for winning and his attitude towards standards and practices.

The only way to answer the question is to ask yourself this question...Could you work for him?

My answer is no, so obviously I do not care for him.

Imagine being the coach and the owner is right there in the huddle in your face.

I HATE MICRO-MANAGERS AND I MAKE IT A POINT TO NOT MICRO-MANAGE PEOPLE....
