People may not like him, but I think it's good in a way, I mean how many owners in anysport walk in the game looking like the average Joe (Like AE said), You know It seems like he maybe cares a little to much but in a way I believe it's good.

Good for the fans, but he is a disgrace to the NBA in my opinion.

Both.

It's refreshing to see a owner like him, jeans and a tshirt type of thing. But on the other hand, the way he conducts himself at times is pathetic and a disgrace to the NBA.

Another question, would you act in the same respect if you were an owner like Cuban?

Like would you sit next to the team and yell when bad calls are made?

He used to be great for the league. It was nice to see an owner who cared about his players personally. He wanted them to have the best training and recreational equipment. Players wanted to play in Dallas because of him. But somewhere along the way he turned into just another owner. then ultimately a tyrant owner with a fan mentality.

It's good to see an owner who cares a lot about their team, but I feel that Cuban tends to cross the line when it comes to the way he reacts. Running onto the court after a loss, yelling at refs, pushing camera men, calling players names, just isn't the way an owner should act. It's not professional.

I agree...and you have to wonder if it rubs players the wrong way.

In a day where everybody is going for broke, Mark Cuban is worth $1.5 billion. I don't care how many cameramen he pushes, anybody worth that kind of money isn't a bad thing for anybody.

I am sick of his gimmick, I think he has made some of the dumbest personnel moves but the guy could single-handedly bail out any sports franchise right now if he had to.

It`s a little bit of both.

Yes, I do enjoy seeing his passion and his intensity when it comes to the games, he just tends to take it too far sometimes.

I really have no problem with Cuban. I agree with what many of you guys said about the t-shirt and jeans look when he's watching the games. His conduct may be (actually probably is) problematic. For instance, the case where he told Kenyon Martin's mother that he was a thug was way too far, but I'm not sure if he even said that. Does anyone know, because I find it hard to believe that even Cuban would say that face-to-face with someone. He's got grapefruits, I just didn't know they were that big, lol.

But what have Cuban's teams ever done besides have their hearts ripped out by D-Wade?

Yankees and Mavs have the same amount of championships since Mark Cuban bought the team. And Mavs might choke, but we never blew a 3-0 lead in a series with the highest payroll in the NBA the last 10 years

But George Steinbrenner is a winner and has multiple championship rings, something Cuban can't say.
