It looks Dallas Mavericks’ billionaire owner, Mark Cuban, will take a financial hit this NBA season no matter how many games his team wins.
“Am I going to lose a lot of money this year? Yes. No question about it. More than $100 million when this is all said and done? Yes. No question about it,” Cuban said on Monday in an interview with a Dallas sports radio station.
The Mavericks are one of many NBA teams likely to open the new season, which starts on Dec. 23, with few or no fans in the stands due to states’ social-distancing guidelines stemming from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Though Cuban’s Mavericks have not yet announced whether the team will initially be playing in front of fans at Dallas’ American Airlines Arena, he said he hopes to be “selling out the place” by some point in the second half of the season.
“Hopefully, post-vaccine, life will be back to normal and everything will be OK,” Cuban said on Monday. “Fans will be in arenas, and it wouldn’t shock me if ... we reach a point in time where there’s enough people with vaccines and everybody’s confident, maybe it’s March, maybe it’s April, maybe even May since we started [the season] late, and we’re just selling out the place.”

LOL Mark, you haven't sold out the place for at least a couple of years. Just look at tape of pre-pandemic games, with thousands of seats empty.
Mark hopes we forget about all the BLM BS that was forced on us during the bubble. I've got news for him...we haven't.
Heck, he guaranteed $150 million to a 7'3" freak with bad knees...and I'm supposed to feel sorry for him?
Good.
I highly doubt if the bLM loving anti-American ChiCom sympathizer will learn his lesson. There is a special place in hell for people like Cuban.
I remember a lot of people were ragging on Cuban for his love of White Players over the years, he had Dirk and Steve Nash.
Poor baby. A drop in the bucket compared to what the concession stand workers and suppliers are losing. Never mind the parking lot attendants, ticket takers, janitors and who knows what else. The list is almost endless. What a jerk.
How much will he lose if justice is ever served and he gets busted for pedophilia.
DILLIGAFF?
Do I Look Like I Give A Flying....
Meanwhile, some 100,000 small businesses have gone out of business.
So you lost $100 million? GOOD!
What a shame.
How dare you say unkind things about Saint Rick, winner of one playoff series since they won the title in 2011. He's just like his hero from San Antonio, surly with the press and public the vast majority of the time.
There's no doubt that Luka and Trae Young were meant to play in Dallas and Atlanta, respectively. Taking a quote from Ray Nagin, Atlanta is a "chocolate town." There's a big international population here in the Metroplex that is friendly towards Euro players.
I don't begrudge my kids their affection for the Mavericks, they understand my attitude towards Cuban and his team. Plus, they know I barely follow the NBA until March Madness is over.
LOL, they're avoiding me like the Covid this week, as I'm suffering through this week's cessation of Gonzaga basketball...I'm freaking miserable, just hoping that a week off will right the ship medically.
Better check with I’m sure your good bud Dr. Fauci. Your fans aren’t very high on his vaccine priority list. Maybe next season.
Breaks my heart...
Couldn’t happen to a bigger piece of crap.
... actually in the NBA I am sure there are plenty of them.
My heart breaks. Luckily were all in this together Mr Billionaire
Go Woke and Go Broke
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Just redact it you giant pile of steaming crap.
