Cuban stopped paying Nelson when he breached his contract.

One could say that he was classy about not blocking Nellie from going to Golden State over it. He seemed content to just stop paying him.

Now Nellie wants to double dip and get paid by Oakland and Dallas. We vilified Larry Brown for that.

This drama has been going on for several seasons.

Lost on all the people who want to jump on Cuban is that he still employs Nelson's son and he gave Nellie a very nice buyout.

It's just part of our cynical society where we cry that there are no more good guys, but when we have one, we tear them down and laugh at them.

WW, you don't like that Davidson is cheap. Cuban has spent out of his own pocket to build the Mavs. He spares no expense for the team on or off the court. He sits in the stands with the regular fans so he can get an idea of how good the fan experience is because he's a smart marketer.

But hey, if people think a self made billionaire and winner, who I will admit is a bit of a narcissist, is a loser then so be it.

I don't think Cuban is a loser Roscoe. Anybody that is a self made billionaire is far from a loser. I think Cuban is a sore loser or to better phrase it doesn't like to lose. I think it burns him more that Nellie beat his team. That is my opinion. I admit I don't know alot of the back history on this story. However, reading the article Cuban doesn't make a plausible arguement to suport himself. He rambles about Nellie having inside information about the Mavs. This is the main thing that I commented on in my earlier post and that statement is what made a lot of people just tune out and say Cuban is crying again. Cuban should have just stuck to the fact that Nellie breached his contract and was trying to double dip and get paid by both teams. He should have just said that we had an agreement in place in which the Warriors and Nelson violated. Perhaps Cuban was being classy in not making a big deal about Nellie going to Golden State. However, business is business and a agreement is a agreement. Demanding Nelson sign away his right to further payments from Cuban or demanding compensation from the Warriors would have been Cuban's recourse if he did not want to go to court. Cuban did not do this. So Cuban while perhaps being classy is going to end up looking bad.

Nellie's lawyer says that. Not Cuban.

Interesting read.

Nelson knows his worth

And in this blog entry, I believe Cuban is hinting that the recent quotes in the Nellie articles are actually old quotes (and again, I have never read him say that Nellie is using his knowledge of the Mavs against them).

Mark Cuban Rugby player. Not an easy sport to play

He played rugby while at Indiana, taking up the position of number 8.

Mark Cuban - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

8. Number eight

Number eight is the only position that does not have a specific name and is simply referred to as 'the number eight'. The modern number eight has the physical strength of a forward along with the mobility of other loose forwards. The number eight packs down at the rear of the scrum, controlling the movement of the ball to the scrum-half with his/her feet. The number 8 is the position where the ball enters the backline from the scrum and, hence, both fly half and inside centre take their role from the number 8 who as the hindmost player in the scrum can elect to pick and run with the ball like a back. As a result, the number 8 has the opportunities as a back to run from set plays.
They are normally tall and athletic and used as an option to win the ball from the back of the lineout. Like flankers they do less of the pushing than locks or props, but need to be quick to cover opposition half-backs. A number eight should be a key ball winner in broken play, and occasionally a 'battering ram' at the front of rucks.
Some back-row players are versatile enough to play either of the flanker positions or at number 8; one notable example is Joe van Niekerk (South Africa).
Even more versatile players in this vein are Michael Owen (Wales and Lions) and Martin Corry (England and Lions), who normally play number 8, but also frequently play at both flanker positions, and have even successfully played at lock. David Wallace (Ireland and Lions) is one of the few players who has experience playing at number 8, both flankers, centre and even on the wing at club level for Munster.
Number eights in the International Rugby Hall of Fame include: Mervyn Davies (Wales and Lions), Morne du Plessis (South Africa), Hennie Muller (South Africa) and Brian Lochore (New Zealand).

He wants to buy the Cubbies.

Add Internet billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to the list of potential Chicago Cubs buyers. "I submitted an app," Cuban said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

It would be nice if he included Mr. Cub on his ownership team. Also great for PR if they were successful in buying the Cubs.
