I dont hate him in the same way I hate gays or abo's, but I hate the way he feuds with refs, great coaches and tries to put himself on the players level (running onto the court). I know he helped turned around Dallas (that was more Don Nelson and Michael Finely though) and bought them a new arena, but to me he is just the owner equivilent of Stephen A. Smith, when he argues with players. Who are they to really criticise NBA players(or refs/coaches) when it comes to the game? That would be like a high school maths/science teacher criticising Albert Einstien.
so you just dislike mark cuban and not the other owners? just trying to clarify.
Are you saying you dislike cuban for criticizing players? doesn't everybody? its just that more people to listen to him then, say, me.
How is talent relative? If thats genuinely the case, why is Wilt and Oscar held in higher reard in many NBA fans than MJ and Kobe? The owners, in the grand scheme of things, dont invest all that much in terms of talent. Compare New York to Charlotte, compare the bankrolls and the amount of wins.
Now after comparing those, you tell me who is more important to the knicks? The owner, or the likes of Patrick Ewing, Willis Reed, Allan Houston etc.
because wilt and oscar and mj all had one thing in common: they revolutionized the game. (kobe, on the other hand, isnt held in the same regard as those three for that reason among others). talent is relative because everything is relative, a teenager nowadays hypothetically could learn or understand the theory of evolution, e=mc squared, and how to make gunpowder, but that doesnt make him smarter than aristotle does it.
i'm not saying the players are worthless,players and owner do need each other; i just don't think its wise to bite the hand that feeds you.
