Wiretap: Dear J.R....(Cuban's open letter after fine) 

Post#1 » by Donlogic » Sat Jan 17, 2009 1:04 am

Funny blog by Cuban:

Im sorry I didnt accept your generous offer of a signed pair of shoes. I think they were even my size.


Unless of course your coach thinks that the wrong thing to do, or the NBA says I can’t because it would be a violation of a rule. In which case, I will find a charity that I think you would like and make the donation in your name.

bff

What a jerk. It wasn't about getting mad it was about going on the court.

My favorite Cuban blog has to be the responses to the letters from the people angry about the "Howardgate" Situation

I suppose some people like Cuban because he's not your run-of-the-mill billionaire. But money or no money, I find him to be a grating, attention whoring twerp who nobody would listen to if he didn't have money to throw around, berating the league in cutesy, passive-aggressive ways. "Look everyone, allow me to throw money at a charity whilst I simultaneously voice my displeasure, making it nearly impossible to see me as in the wrong."

I'm not saying I think he's always wrong, I just can't stand how he makes his points sometimes, he's pretty childish.

I also think he's an obstacle and distraction to his own team.

At least he's not boring though.

He's actually very smart, even if you think he goes about voicing his opinion in a childish manner.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Cuban is a true fan of the game, some of the stuff he complaints about is right up there with the average fan

Yes folks, above sig/tweet is real!
When asked about the state of his groin injury, Primoz Brezec had the following observation: "The groin is a gangster."
