If you were an NBA owner...

would you run your mouth like Mark Cuban?

I know I would when things get effed up like last night.

No, but I would look at the correlation between spending money and winning and seeing very little. I would pay top money for a GM who is smart and doesn't look at the salary cap like a College Freshman with their first credit card.

No, but i'd be broke with a 3 billion dollar tab at a bunny ranch.

That's exactly what I was going to say. I'd be complaining about my employees, not the league.

yea, I would be worse than Cuban, I'm pretty sure if i didn't like a call I would run on the court, whip my dick out, piss on the ref, and then hire the best lawyer money can buy, and walk away without anything happening.

Money shouldn't change your respect for others.

IDK if you were referring to me or just in general, but money wouldn't change me, it would actually give me more outlets other than RealGM to talk the craptastic truth about referees

In general.

Just because you have the power & money, still shouldn't give the the "power" to talk crap about people. -- That's just asking for it, a la Mark Cuban and his prediction on the David Letterman show.

I'd run my mouth like Jerome James runs the fastbreak.

You're right. What gives Mark that right is his constitutional freedom. I know you're from Miami and probably don't like him, but he's more truthful than the NBA is about its referees.

I was just saying, if you were an owner would you speak up and get fines, or keep your mouth shut and let bull reign.

What was his prediction BTW?

Yeah.

Hell yeah.

He went on parading about how his team was this and that, being up 2-0 in the Finals. And, how he had a large part in giving such wing players as LeBron, Kobe, & Wade the freedom to operate w/o getting hassled (i.e. - hand checks). And, all of that went against him. :eyebrows:

In essence, he was gloating, and I personally hate people who do that; I couldn't care less who you are.

I'd probably talk a bit when it came to topics involving my team, but I wouldn't be as bad as Cuban.

Heat3 · Post #17 » by **Heat3** » Sat Apr 5, 2008 12:48 pm

i'd be partying with Jerry Bus and his bitches.

KB20 · Post #18 » by **KB20** » Sat Apr 5, 2008 3:05 pm

Me? I wouldn't because that's just not me though I do get pretty tense when refs piss me off. Cuban, however, brings that entertainment we need in this league and I hope he never changes.
