Mark also owns the Dallas Mavericks and he likes to write about them often.
If you’re a die-hard Mavericks fan and you want to get the dirt straight from the top, pay a visit to www.blogmaverick.com. It’s Mark Cuban’s exclusive blogspot about the Mavericks and you’ll find out quickly that he not shy in expressing himself. He also has a series of posts having to do with Success and Motivation that may be worth your view. Mark’s known as an excitable fellow and it shows in his writings. Cuban has been fined by the NBA, mostly for criticalstatements about the league and referees, at least $1,665,000 for thirteen incidents. In a June 30, 2006 interview, Mavericks superstar Dirk Nowitzki said, “He's got to learn how to control himself as well as the players do. We can't lose our temper all the time on the court or off the court, and I think he's got to learn that, too. He's got to improve in that area and not yell at the officials the whole game. I don't think that helps us.... He sits right there by our bench. I think it's a bit much. But we all told him this before. It's nothing new. The game starts, and he's already yelling at them. So he needs to know how to control himself a little.” In an interview with the Associated Press, Mark Cuban said that he matches NBA fines with charitable donations dollar-for-dollar. Mark Cuban freely discusses his feelings about NBA officials in his uncensored, unedited but well-written blog. |
