Cuban is trying to educate Skip Bayless, who shows just how clueless he is about basketball.

Cuban is also explaining how Lebron played the right way in last year's finals, and that he just didn't have any "Steve Kerr" to help him out. Cuban is defending Lebron's play in last season's finals and just ridicules Bayless for his stupid hate.

Gotta love Cuban, not only for being a great owner that's willing to pay for a winning team, but also for speaking the truth. So give the man some props.

Bayless is a joke I'm tired of hearing about this guy.

I watched this and although he makes Skip look stupid he doesn't make him self look particularly smart. His team played a different version of Lebron last year. If the Lebron from this year was on that court last year we would have won going away and he knows it. He talks about how they made him a jump shooter, but the Thunder wanted to do that as well he just simply wouldn't allow it this year. Lebron did not post up last year and this year he lived in the post and destroyed the Thunder by relentlessly attacking the hoop.

I do believe that Dallas was a better more experienced and intelligent opponent but they don't beat this years Heat, they got lucky they played us last year.

He explains why OKC couldn't/didn't turn him into a jump shooter: they didn't play zone.

He offers an excuse, as not to appear he's criticizing Brooks, but he's right. Miami still played a ton of 1-on-1, and even this season they didn't show they know how to attack a zone. And that's one of my criticisms of Spoelstra.

Also, as I said last year, Lebron didn't have anything left in the tank. Spoelstra an him into the ground, and he nearly did it again this year (see: cramps). That's why he played well first 3 games and then he started playing worse, especially towards the end of games.

It wasn't the pressure, it was fatigue. The Mavs players (Kidd, Terry, Stevenson) and Carlisle even said during and after the finals that was part of their plan. They knew Spoelstra would have Lebron guarding a quick perimeter player (Terry most of the time), so they just had Terry running around screens all night long, till Lebron's legs were dead and come 4th quarter he had nothing left in the tank. It was brilliant and Cuban knows it, and so does whoever knows basketball and was paying attention.

That Knicks board talking about Wade and Bron laughing at the Knicks is hysterical!
Even got a signature off of it! Haha
Knicks fans are mad...they have two titles in their history an we have...TWO! Haha

Mark Cuban should create a sports network or radio show with actual analysis. It would be profitable.

[Vertical Limit]

Only thing I agree with Cuban is about Skip not using any facts on his arguments.

Other than that, he's giving his Mavericks too much credit. This year's Heat team would have swept last years Mavericks. Lebron is a whole different player.

[OtW]

I kind of like what Cuban said about Skip, but I do not agree with him in the facet that he does not believe in emotion/mentality/will etc. Had this determined LeBron been here last year, we would be talking about our repeat/Wade's third title/hyping up for a three peat.

And lol. I saw that. That topic on the Knicks board is HUUUUGE!!!
