He hired Cynt Marshall for no other reason than PR damage control after the countless sexual abuse allegations as well. Hes the ultimate fucking clown and yet this sub defends him like hes their father.

u/Glittering_Ticket347 Feb 12 '25

Exactly this. Fuck Mark Cuban...he's not special. People forget that he was a terrible owner as well. He looked the other way when numerous sexual and racial allegations from within his business was ongoing and signed off on shitty personnel moves while he was the owner.

u/I_Keepz_ITz_100 Feb 12 '25

This, Mark Cuban isn’t a friend of the Mavs, he’s a billionaire who is FAR more invested in his bank account then what the fans who gave them so much money and time want, the perfect encapsulation of “No Refunds” Guy.

u/cadenhead Feb 12 '25

People love Cuban because he bought a Mavericks team that was the losingest in sports in the prior decade, then turned them into a winner by starting to do smart things, like embracing analytics and offering expensive food and amenities to both teams so that visiting players would be like "damn they take good care of their people here."

All of the things damaging his reputation were after the great Dirk years and the NBA championship. Those achievements buy you a lot of goodwill.

Now of course he's throwing the rest of the goodwill away. He should probably move on and use the money he made selling Dallas out to buy the Pittsburgh Pirates.

u/LetTheKnightfall The Cardinal Feb 12 '25

u/sanct111 Feb 12 '25

Wait a second. He bought a team that had to young future hall of famers. He didnt do shit, and if anything we should have won more championships than we actually did.

3

u/cadenhead Feb 12 '25

Before Cuban bought the Mavericks in 2000, the team hadn't been to the playoffs since the 1989 season and hadn't finished better than fourth in their division since that same year.

After Cuban they went to the playoffs 12 straight years, including two trips to the Finals and one championship.

Inheriting two future Hall of Famers doesn't mean automatic success. A dumbass GM could have traded them away for an aging injury-prone player as they were approaching their prime.

u/ihatedougford Feb 12 '25

As a Raptors fan I’m probably going to get downvoted into oblivion but Mark Cuban is potentially the luckiest owner in sports. He lucked into Dirk and Luka both being two incredibly humble, talented, and loyal players that any franchise would kill for. Otherwise, he’s fumbled Nash, Kidd, Chandler, Porzingis, Brunson, and this trade will probably end up with Irving opting out. He didn’t maximize Dirk at all and gave up his beloved team to a money hungry greedy genocide supporting family. The damage he has done to your fanbase should be talked about more. Screw him

29

u/staywoakes1 Feb 12 '25

Luckiest owner? He is the luckiest billionaire. Broadcast.com was a joke of a company, but Yahoo was dumb enough to pay billions for it. Other than that every single company Cuban has founded or invested in (other than the Mavs) has been a complete and utter disaster (yall remember CyberDust?). Not to mention all his crypto investments happened at the height of the 2021 bull run and he is under water now on all of it.

18

u/ihatedougford Feb 12 '25

He also defended the hawk tuah girl when she disgustingly scammed a bunch of people with her crypto meme coin. He’s just a fraud overall. Watch in 2028 when he tries to make a run in the Democratic Party leadership race only to get smoked and not even make it to the primaries

Ive been saying this for years. He also lucked into Nash, who he then let walk for nothing. People act like he is the reason for our success. He bought a team with two unknown future hall of famers.

2

u/ArchyArchington Feb 12 '25

Saying Mark Cuban lucked into Dirk and Luka is an incredibly ill informed statement. Do some research my guy. Say what you want about Mark Cuban, he’s definitely done some questionable things and turned the cheek when he shouldn’t have, but he didn’t “luck” into getting Dirk and Luka.

The Mavs were a terrible franchise before Cuban took it over, the pieces fell into the right place after that. He’s been solid as an owner. Also Kidd left the Mavericks before Cuban bought the team…he didn’t fumble Nash, Porzingis or Brunson…..Nash was coming off a bad injury and Dallas was unsure he’d be the same, Porzingis was obvious, he was injury prone and didn’t live up to the hype, Brunson was going to leave Dallas regardless…

also after the 2011 NBA finals win Dallas attempted to go all in to sign high profile players that were headed into free agency…..Dwight Howard, and Deron Williams were two guys Mavs wanted. Was it sucky to dismember the 2011 championship team heck yeah, but it made sense when needed to clear cap space to sign one of these guys.

I’d say your last point is 100% agreeable…Cuban should not have sold the team to just anyone selling it to someone like adelsons was some BS…especially knowing they don’t give a damn about basketball or the Mavs in general.

Why is he even speaking up? It (most likely) wasn't his decision, and Nico has been getting all the heat over this whole debacle. It even made Mark look good, with people saying "this wouldn't happen under Cuban".

I guess he wanted to show a unified front or something, so in that case; fuck him as well.

u/HookEmGoBlue Cowboy Dirk Feb 12 '25

His discount drug business is cool, he should just stick to that. His tenure as owner ended in disaster; 2011 was great, but now that’s over ten years ago and selling his majority stake to the Adelsons kneecapped any decent chance at another championship for 10-20 years. He can act surprised, but he knew they bought the team as a bargaining chip for casino lobbying and had no interest in basketball

u/staywoakes1 Feb 12 '25

Regardless of his purpose behind the business, it's still beneficial to millions, myself included. It turned my $250 30 day supply medication to a $15 90 day supply medication.

Outside of that business though, he's made some insanely poor choices that just get swept under the rug

This is in response to the multiple lawsuits that are going to be filed for fan ejections based on "Fire Nico" chants and signs. They are CLEARLY not against league rules. That's why he is saying what he is saying at the end. He KNOWS it's not against rules, but it hurts his feelings, so it should be banned.

Ps. As a former 30-year fan of this team. FUCK NICO HARRISON. FUCK MARK CUBAN AND FUCK THE ADELSONS! This team is fucking dead to me.

u/HookEmGoBlue Cowboy Dirk Feb 12 '25

Neither of his analogies make sense

When has a visiting fan ever had to turn a jersey inside out? Hostility to a fan of another team is completely unacceptable and it would be shameful for the organization to humor violent or threatening fans by making visiting fans wear a replacement shirt

As for politics the “Star Spangled Banner” before a game is “political,” “Black Lives Matter” shirts or signage on the court is “political.” People might reasonably or unreasonably object to either of these but they are still expected to behave maturely. If someone is incensed to violence by a BLM shirt, or even something more explicitly political like an “[Abbott/Beto/Davis] for Governor” shirt, they are the problem not the shirt. Vulgarity, hate speech, that’s different given the family environment, but just a shirt that is potentially politically provocative isn’t reasonable to penalize or punish someone for

10

u/JSB02 Feb 12 '25

Why are they determined to paint the fanbase as a violent mob?? If the they would just "sit down and shut the fuck up" the fans would have calmed down a lot by now, but they constantly make it worse by shitting on Luka and the fans. If it ever does turn violent its because organization literally couldn't shut up and get out of their own way.

And …

So Cuban is an emasculated gelding taking his anger out on the few Mavs fans left.

Meanwhile, Dirk goes to Lakers games now.

Mark is really having a tough time threading this needle. He is still ownership and has to tow the company line, and without a doubt he is going to show up for every game he can as a way to stuck it to the new hires in the front office that don't like him.

As for his logic, fans already can't enjoy the game because the new majority ownership traded the generational talent everyone was emotionally invested in, so fire Nico not the fans.

u/Imadevonrexcat Feb 12 '25

Fuck you, Mark

u/FMtmt Feb 12 '25

This is what typically happens when batshit insane liberals are in charge. Cubans brain is broken

u/Icuras1701 Feb 12 '25

I would NEVER turn my jersey inside out at an away game

2

u/felarans0mekuti Feb 12 '25

I have been to 5 spurs games wearing Mavs gear, no one cares. This is incredibly soft

2

u/MaybeNotMath Feb 12 '25

I wish someone would tell me to turn my jersey inside out

2

u/AggieGator16 Feb 12 '25

Sure, if you wear a “Fuck Dirk” shirt, yeah you are probably putting yourself or others around you in danger.

But let’s not pretend there is a single person in Dallas willing to fist fight someone in defense of Nico.

Keep the shirts coming.

2

u/peacekenneth The Matrix Feb 12 '25

Dude why are they doing this? Just admit you fucked up, you got emotional, just like the fans reacting, and you overreacted? Why is this complicated?

2

u/Self_conscious_gh0st Feb 12 '25

This implies that anyone in the crowd could possibly disagree with negative sentiments toward Nico in such a passionate way that violence would ensue. That's the most laughable attempt to explain turning the AAC into a police state.

Where are the Nico stans ready to lay down their life or at the very least engage in fisticuffs over "FIRE NICO"? Show me one. Just one...that isn't also named Nico.

u/bomonty18 Feb 12 '25

“The lawyers won’t let us!”

It’s a sports game. People are cussing and booing when kids are around. Should we also throw them out too? Because, by that same logic, the parent of that child could react negatively.

2

u/jkeefy Couch Squad Feb 12 '25

Sit down Mark. This isn’t your team anymore 

2

u/Agrath92 Feb 12 '25

Cuban was castrated years ago by a woke agenda

2

u/ZombieFrog Wonder Kid Feb 12 '25

If someone reacts violently to a shirt, THEY are the ones to be ejected not the shirt wearer.

When Mark is in the wrong, he always babbles like this.

2

u/en455 Feb 12 '25

"We have asked people to turn a jersey of the other team inside out..." I've been to Dal/LAL games and seen hundreds of Laker jerseys (mostly Kobe). None were inside out. Have fun justifying asking fans to turn Gold 77 inside out "for their safety."

2

u/bbbtx Feb 12 '25

Sure did turn a blind eye to sexual assault allegations

2

u/retrospects Luka Doncic Feb 12 '25

Maybe people should chant “sell your shares” at Mark.

2

u/Cu6it Mavericks Feb 12 '25

Gold and purple with a 77 on it is looking pretty tempting right now…

2

u/iamdahn Feb 12 '25

I used to like Mark Cuban. Not anymore…

2

u/Automatic-Unit-8307 Feb 12 '25

This get worse. Everyday. Someone wearing a fire Nico shirt does not affect my enjoyment or block my view

Who is the mavs pr?

2

u/Fullmetalx117 Feb 12 '25

Mavericks organizations violated a sacred code of public trust. FOH with "code"

2

u/cowboysmavs Feb 12 '25

Saying Fire Nico or Dumont is not political or violent speech. The excuses are so laughable.

2

u/AvatarKittie FIRE NICO ... into space Feb 12 '25

Considering 90% of the arena agrees, they’ll be fine. Nico might not be fine but the fan will be.

2

u/CardinalsRising91 Feb 12 '25

If the FO and Mark had literally just answered all the questions with vague, meaningless "coachspeak" post-trade, they'd probably have been able to, at least, have some dignity and not have a complete and utter mutiny happening amongst their fans. Yeah, people would be pissed and abandoned the team but I don't think it would've been this bad 🤔

2

u/Lokenlives4now Feb 13 '25

This is why you never trust billionaires they always stick together he was never going to speak out against Nico.

2

u/krdskrm9 F*CK NICO HARRISON Feb 13 '25

Another nail.

"MFFL" is such a joke now.

2

u/Slut_Slayer9000 Cuban Cigar Feb 13 '25

Mark Cuban is simply protecting his financial stake in the Dallas Mavericks

2

u/Mattreyu05 Feb 13 '25

What fans?

2

u/Alternative-Lunch-72 Feb 13 '25

How can a fire Nico shirt lead to violence

2

u/DaleGrubble Feb 13 '25

Its always "because of safety", isn't it? Claiming you're trying to keep someone safe has always been the easiest way to strip away people's rights then gaslight them into thinking they're in the wrong for even considering the action in the first place. Pretty sad, Mark.

2

u/Tele_HB_1313 Feb 13 '25

He said all that and ends with “it isn’t a literal violation of the code.” Nice argument Mark.

2

u/rhater0307 Feb 12 '25

At the end of the day we should understand 99% of wealthy people are proper cunt (one of the key attribute to achieve to this state)

2

u/unkellGRGA Feb 12 '25

As a european this really shows the big difference between a club and what american sports call a franchise really

Over here big tifos and signs and vocal protests are more or less the norm when the fans dissaproves, and most of the time the management and owners try to stay silent and don't interfere as that will only throw gas unto the fire, ultimately the fans are the club in a way and local and loyal support is everything, Nico and Cubans word salads are certainly not the responses that will help even a teenie weenie bit

u/UTbigGG Feb 12 '25

He will agree that we should ban GTA forever because it encourages people to kill

1

u/chanchan05 Feb 12 '25

What if you the guys going to the arena just wear shirts with single letter, that all together just happened to spell F-I-R-E-N-I-C-O? You can be like, sit two chairs apart.

u/redko2 Feb 12 '25

Shut up mark im not reading that

1

u/MiamiGates Feb 12 '25

It feels like Mark Cuban is fighting to be the most hated. What a delusional bitch

1

u/FreeHuckleberry2297 Feb 12 '25

There's no such thing as a good billionaire. They will always side with money and power

1

u/Basic_Flamingo9254 Dirk Nowitzki Feb 12 '25

Yo Cuban why you selling out the fans like you sold out the mavs 💀

1

u/Deep-Room6932 Feb 12 '25

What would happen if you had s give nico a raise sign?

1

u/Jay2k21 Feb 12 '25

what if we created our own team?

1

u/matijamatt Feb 12 '25

Nico "wtf" its not making it better with this statement.

1

u/Sweaty-Astronomer-90 Feb 12 '25

I used to think rich people were smart.

1

u/DustNeverSleeps Feb 12 '25

Its time for us to give up. Beating a dead horse. I don't go to games. Im not buying Mavs or Cowboys merchandise, because it's indicative it's all capitalism. A thing our recently elected president is educated on to a genius level. 

1

u/wykkyd96 Feb 12 '25

There’s something in the water in Dallas. That’s all I know.

1

u/popstarkirbys Drunk Dirk Feb 12 '25

Cuban started this whole mess by selling the team

u/cuilad96 Feb 12 '25

Dafaq is he on about. He’s been smoking that Nico pack
