Mark Cuban Just Said David Stern Sucks

[Gee!]

He was just on Jim Rome's tv show and basically said Stern sucks in not so many words and that Stern is trying to rule the world and manipulates the rest of the NBA owners..



Wonder if a fine is coming....

The funny thing is I just heard an interview with David Stern a few weeks back when Rome was out and David basically said that having a new breed of owner like Cuban was good for the league. However, at the same time said that owners like Cuban need to be shown where the line needs to be drawn...like a child.

Cuban is a stud. You can hate him all you want, but he's a great owner. That mavs team STUNK until he came along. And he isn't afraid of the Big Bad Commish, either.

He has a big, fat wallet and doesn't mind digging in to it... That's about the extent of the positive terms I can throw his way...
If he ever figures out that the game and the team isn't all about him, I might like him more...

For all of the bad press Cuban generates, I admire the fact that he lets his basketball people make basketball decisions. He doesn't tamper. He's not Jerry Jones. I think it's very hard to not tamper when you have so much money. I think it's even harder to put together a good basketball organization, because you're always tempted to throw money at every problem -- that's not how any business or any sports operation works best. I think the Yankess have proven that.

Cuban is a great owner. The proof is in his team and the quality of the people who work for him.

Let's not go too far over the edge here. Dallas consistantly went to the playoffs and challenged in their division in the mid-late 80s. It's not as if he purchased the Arizona Cardinals and took them to the playoffs every year and then the SuperBowl.

Too far over the edge? That was 20 years ago. They hadn't made the playoffs since the 89-90 season, when they got rolled up 3-0 to the Blazers. Their best record after that was a 36-46 season. The Mavs DID suck until Cuban came along.

Cuban is a great owner and its because he is a brilliant business and selfmade man. He has worked hard to be where he is. I'm pretty sure he does some of the things he does just to get publicity for the team and as a marketing tool. I am a Suns fan and bleed purple and orange but you have to respect Cuban. His blog blogmaverick.com is a good read for those interested in business.

David Stern sucks. Little Napoleon. So does his little clone Gary Bettman. So does Bud Selig. Hmmmm. Maybe it is the job that sucks. Maybe you have to suck to be a commisioner.
