Oh, and he picks fights with every 'higher-up' on the block. Bonus points for drama.

The only reason, shaw, you think that is because of his way of being. He has that "Oh, I care more than anyone!" schtick going for him. "Look at me, I'm passionate! Look at me, I wear tiny t-shirts!"

I'm not saying he doesn't love the Mavs and invests a ton of money into them. He clearly does. I just think your man-crush on him is clouding your vision a bit

You still my boy, shaw

I'm saying that because of the investment of time, money (they have the poshest facilities in the league, and the league's 2nd highest payroll), and, to a small extent, emotion he invests in them.

My man-crush on him aside, there is nobody else who is as devoted as he is on those 3 measures.

if Rose's ankle is bad and Booz's turf toe is bad, Heat are going to roll the Bulls next round

Then again, I guess I should expect some jealousy from a Huizenga lifer.

The Heat will roll everyone.

this. i am starting to change my opinion about cuban. sure he can be obnoxious at times, and he was very obnoxious in the early 2000s. he really toned it down, and got serious with the franchise the past couple of years. also, you can't hate the guy for being a real fan. most professional sports teams have "suits" running the payroll and creating the team.

cuban is a people's gm who manages the mavericks like it's his most cherished treasure. he's botched some transactions in the past, but i'm sure he did it out of his pure basketball fanatic ego. think about it. if you loved basketball just as much as he does, won the lottery by selling your business for multi millions of dollars, and bought your favorite sports team, you would act just like cuban right?

as for outside the basketball court, the guy is very impressive businessman. also very smart, knows his stuff, and a pure entrepreneur who's open to many ideas.

face it. i am a cuban fan.

Huizenga? Who cares about him. Dude, Mark Cuban is an egomaniac. You get that, right? Mark Cuban loves the Mavs. But you know who he loves way more? Mark Cuban.

But ok, cool, we've said our points. Can't wait 'til calls go against him in these playoffs and he proclaims the NBA is out to get him because they hate him. Get excited.

Who cares about the owner of any professional sports team?

You and shaw should start an alliance, butters.

give me a good example in the past 3 years where he cared only about himself, and tried to rundown people? you can't really count the attempt of the cubs acquisition, because it was there for the taking, and he saw the opportunity.

oh yes, and you can't call be biased for the mavs, because i'm not a mavs fan.

.... if they make it to the next round.

Butters, are you intentionally trying to miss my point?

I really dislike the Mavs.

In my mind, the owner's responsibilities are as follows:
1. Let your GM max out the salary cap
2. Spend a metric fuckton of money on everything not governed by the salary cap
3. Let your personnel people handle personnel.

He does all 3. The video tapes he sends to Stern and incessant whining are just things fans of other teams find irritating, but, honestly, would I mind if Reinsdorf sent the league office weekly mixtapes of missed calls? Hell no.

Like I said, I have zero problems with him as an actual owner of a professional team. Doesn't mean I don't think he's a little bitch.

He is.

You know who else is a little bitch? Spoelstra.

You know who else is a little bitch? Dwyane wade whenever he doesn't get his foul call.

Ha.

When Dwyane Wade tells a reporter asking a question, "what the fuck does it matter, ask me another question," like a smug dick, then I'll entertain the idea.

That's the day I'll start liking Dwyane Wade.

Shaw, stop with the tough guy talk - you're not fooling anyone, you big softie

Fine, I admit--it's because Cuban's wikipedia page lists "disco dancing instructor" as one of his former jobs.

Looks like butters and I are about to pull away, with that revelation.

I found the cure for the lakers...
