OT - mazel tov to Mark Cuban
Good job putting that team together, dude. Congrats on the title. No question Dirk should be the finals MVP.

From where I sit.....
I was happy to see him keep quiet and remain on the sidelines and let the players and coaches be the center of attention - and not him.
If his intent was not to upset the apple cart......it worked. |
Unfortunately this gives no credibility to Cuban.
I guess the guys in gray weren't all that bad this year. Notice we didn't hear about Cuban whining like a skirt, because he was winning. Yes the Mavs were great and Dirk was off the chain, but for my two cents Cuban is a tool with regards to the officiating in the NBA !!!!!!!! |

I agree & by the Mavs getting one, this should prove that the fix is NOT in! Out of all the NBA owners, I'm sure Stern & Co didnt want to see this tool get one. |

BTW - I wonder if Cuban can shout "WINNING" louder than Charlie Sheen? :D |

Texas is a huge State but Miami sells more apparel & has more star-power than Dallas. I've rarely (if at all) see the kids rocking a Terry, Kidd, Barerra jersey... you cant go to a gym without seeing a James or Wade jersey. |

As stated earlier, I'm sure TPTB didn't want Dallas to get a title. I'm just as sure that they never made any such comment to any referee anywhere. I think Cuban's behavioral change was more along the lines of him growing up than anything else. |

Ummm....
I am neither confirming or denying my presence at games 1 and 2 of the WCF but Cuban was FAR from calm. I actually found him somewhat enjoyable to watch. Talk about a guy who wears his emotions on his sleeves. The one scene that sticks out, had I been there, was in game 2. Can't remember the call but it was a close one. He (may) have had his hands on top of his head waiting for the jumbotron to reply the foul and it did. He then (possibly) threw his arms out, looked over to where Stu Jackson was sitting and started flapping his arms towards Mr Jackson, the Jumbotron and the Offiical with some choice words thrown in. He completed it with a nice piroette! (Ok I can't spell that but I CAN spell Berea!)
He just kept his comments out of the media. He still made them on the sidelines (or so I hear!) |

And part of that is there is a part of society that was not offended by his actions either. There are a lot of factors. Not trying to figure them out either, but a hated guy does not usually lead in jersey sales. I do not remember Kobe being at that point when he had is little trouble.
