This Just In: Mark Cuban is Bonkers
Foul Balls —
Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has decided that their first round loss in the NBA playoffs was not due to the complete collapse of his team. No. He's decided it was a vast conspiracy, led by the evil and all-powerful NBA warlord and Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson. Cuban contends that Nelson, while a coach for the Dallas Mavericks, gathered "confidential information" which he then used to tattoo the Mavs, Dirk Nowitski in particular. So, get this, he's suing to prevent Nelson from coaching Golden State against the Mavs in the future . Don Nelson's attorney, John O'Connor, who must truly love getting $800 an hour for dealing with this sorry shit, said sarcastically , "I suppose he [Nelson] knows Nowitzki likes to go right instead of left, but normally that's not a trade secret." This battle has a long and proud history behind it: ".. [It's] an extension of an ongoing feud about compensation between th ...

... tip us off to Mark Cuban's latest antics which is straight out of the "I can't believe he's doing that!" file. While, as I understand it, that word "suing" incorrect because the two are going through arbitration over an unrelated matter, the fact that Cuban would even accuse Don Nelson of using "confidential information" is downright ludicrous. Of course Nelson would if he were in the employment of another team that was competing against the Mavericks. Who wouldn't and why does Cuban think this is bad form? What makes this all the more disturbing is that there are serious people who think that the NHL could use an owner like Mark Cuban. Cuban is the last thing the NHL needs right now. ...

... The past few weeks one of my former employees wanted to make a statement about our legal relationship and get his perspective covered in the media. No problem at all. The media people he spoke to asked me for a comment. I didnt give one. One media outlet wrote it as fact, then bloggers jumped in. The more bloggers jumped in covering what the other bloggers had to say about what the first bloggers said. When I asked a local reporter why he was covering this when he only had one side and he knew i wasnt going to give a response, he said it was because his editors thought it had become a national story , I guess his bosses read blogs.. Then another media outlet, despite my no comment email response decided to take responses from months ago and present them in their story as if they were made in response to their current request. Nice. I m pretty sure he s referring to this article to which was banana-blogged ...

... This is all well and good, I suppose—after all, Nelson did lead the Warriors on an improbable playoff run last year (as much as a coach can lead a team) and brought a lot of attention to the Yay. All of a sudden Golden State is a desirable basketball destination again. (And he’s also being sued by Mark Cuban, which in and of itself might make him deserving of a raise.) ...
