Mark Cuban, billionaire and owner of the little Mavericks, is a nut job. No question about it. And a lot of people can't stand him because of it. I, and most Maverick fans, however, love him.
Love him or hate him, you have to admit that he is a refreshing change from the typical button-down sports owner. The dude wants to win, which is more than we can say for the guy who owns 50% of the major sports teams in D/FW (Big Dumb Tom Hicks, in case you didn't get the subtle hint).
In addition to his commitment to winning, another endearing (or not-so-endearing, if you're in the anti-Cuban camp) Cuban personality trait is his propensity for skewering the NBA Establishment. David Stern and the refs are his favorite targets, but they're not the only ones.
Recently, Phil Jackson has found himself the object of Cuban mockery. While Big Metaphysical Phil publicly lets it roll off his back, I think it gets to him.
The latest Cuban salvo can be found on his blog, and it's a hoot. Check it out!
