at March 31, 2007 6:35 PMI have loved the Mavericks ever since I began watching basketball - since their first foray into play-offs against the Jazz. I have liked Mark Cuban regardless of other people’s perception of the guy. I still think Mavericks are a great team - they are doing awesome so far - 61 wins with 10 more games to go…Dirk reaching the milestone of 15,000 points - nothing to hate about these guys.
Mark Cuban OTOH, has turned out to be something else altogether…the moron seems to financing “Loose Change”, a conspiacy theory laden fakumentary that has nuggets of information only the blindest conspiracy theorist can follow or believe.
I could forgive Mark Cuban’s antics on the sidelines of the arena - I could forgive his overwhelming need to make the Mavericks all about him - I can even forgive him for “The Benefactor” (OK, I will still laugh at him for that) - I cannot forgive him this. I thought he was more intelligent than this…As far as I am concerned, he stepped way over the line and the franchise and Mark Cuban’s pockets will not be getting another dime from me.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Mixed feelings about the Mavs:
Its surprising that Mark Cuban or for that matter anyone would want to get involved in anything as stupid as “Loose Change” which I thought was the heights of stretching things a bit too far….cant believe so many people actually believe it!

I agree, Sidharth - there are only two possible reasons for Cuban’s move - one, Cuban truly believes this crap, which means he is actually a gullible moron - two, Cuban is using this cynically to simply fan a controversy and make money off of it.
As far as I am concerned, both the explanations are not especially flattering to Cuban.

Raju - I am sure Cuban is now God to people who would rather look for a unicorn than believe in hard facts.
