He's been quiet for a few years, but Cuban's paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines cause he can't stop whining in public.

In Mark Cuban's defense, the other scumbag in question did indeed go on to do it somewhere else...where they were promptly kicked out after 2 months of employment instead of the 15+ years or whatever he got in Dallas

So does Cuban have to personally pay it or do the Mavs just pay it for him (you know like a sexual harassment settlement for a Congressman)?

Wonder if Silver is going to peg whatever punishment he hands out about the abuse details directly to this fine to avoid another NFL Ray Rice suspension scenario.

Mavs fans on reddit really, really like Mark Cuban. Someone says something totally innocuous that everyone should agree on like “Mark Cuban is a chode” and like dozens of Mavs fans with some iteration of Mark or Cuban in their username will descend on the comments and talk about how great he is.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Not when he sits him because he doesn't do whatever weird thing he does to alienate almost every player they don't draft whose personality isn't near Kawhi Leonard on the exuberance scale.

I can't believe I'm defending Robert Sarver but he's never done anything all that bad aside from being incompetent and kind of whiny

It's worth remembering that Larry Brown, famously a cantankerous screaming rear end in a top hat, won the faith of players who were really really tired of carlisle. Of course he left immediately, because he understands how little people like him. The same group of players plus Mcydess and Webber then went on to great success running Flip Saunders adelman esque corner offense based on mid range jumpers.

Carlisle alienates players but he brings the best out of fringe NBA guys and basketball robots. Nobody else can take him for too long. He's a good coach though

Remember when the defense of Cuban was that he was just an involved loudmouth but not an outright bad person like Arson and Gilbert

To play devil's advocate, Business and team operations are segregated in a lot franchises. Cuban always wanted to be around the players, not the guys who make sure they give away enough stuffed horses to get minimum attendance against the Nets.

On the other hand he could have understood the gravity of everything and ignored it. it will take disclosure and so on to reveal which is true
