Mark Cuban: Love Him or Hate Him
Just wanted to get the general idea of what people thought of the man who runs the Dallas Maverick's??? One thing I like about the man, is that he's a fan... You will never see him setting up there in his suite sipping wine and eatting fish eggs... He's always courtside yelling and screaming his head off...
Would you want a man like this running the Chiefs or Royals??? He's probably the most outspoken man in all of sports... |

I think he's a stud and the sportsworld would be better off with more owners like him. I love the fact that he called out Stern on the poor officiating and puts pressure where it's needed.

I have personally messaged him twice pertaining to him buying the Royals from Glass. Heh. He wants the Cubs.
The guy owns. I love his site, www.blogmaverick.com

I can't stand Pro Basketball......
But for some reason, if I'm flipping channels and the Mavs are playing, I watch for a bit. He reminds me of Howard Stern in the respect of people waiting to see what he's gonna say/do next..... |

I like his passion and love for the game.
He needs to act a little more professional though considering his position.

He's got the greatest job in the world... He's a fan -- and an owner of a pro sports franchise...
If I could come up with an enormous chunk of money -- I'd be shopping for a team to buy... To bad he couldn't buy another franchise and move it to the new Sprint Arena...

I used to be a big fan, but his act in last year's play-offs have me rethinking my opinion of him. He was a total distraction for his team.
I love his passion but think he needs to learn how to channel it properly.

I like owners like him. I get the impression that he actually cares about the team.
I'm not sure what jspchief's story is, but overall, I'd love to have an owner who is an avid fan. Is Clark?

Great guy, I heard that he pays his fines with pennies just to be a pain in the bunghole. We need more owners like him.

It seems like he's rich enough that he (unlike most owners) sees the team as something to feed his ego rather than line his pockets. This seems like a desirable trait in the owner of one's team.
JSP has a point about him being a destraction - especially when things are going bad, the team would be much better off if he was ranting and raving in a skybox instead of courtside. But at least he CARES. I certainly don't get that feeling from our current ownership.

As a Laker fan I hate when he talks crap and whines. (Although his banter back and forth with Phil Jackson can sometimes be quite amusing). I give him props for how much enthusiasm he brings to the game and how he has COMPLETLY turned around the Mavs. The team used to be GARBAGE. A Dallas game used to be a joke, now they compete at the the top level. (Lakers still own their asses though)

I just love the fact that he made his millions by selling Yahoo his worthless turd broadcast.com
Talk about an operation held together with bailing wire and bubble gum... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast.com I was involved with adding about 8 CNN feeds to audionet in 1996. They didn't really have a clue as to what they were doing. A real dot-com bubble story. Yahoo basically has nothing to show for thier $5.7 billion (gag choke) DT Last edited by dtebbe; 12-20-2006 at 11:33 PM.. |
