The Dallas Mavericks have not been playing "The Star-Spangled Banner" before home games all season, but said they would Wednesday and going forward after the NBA said all teams were required to play the national anthem.

Too late! The owners went crazy and wanted Silver and Cuban’s heads on a platter. But it’s tooooo late.
Mavs won the title in 2011 and were good with Dirk Nowitzki. They were really good with Nowitzki and Steve Nash.
Bingo
Maybe he’d be more comfortable with the Internationale?
It’s less offensive to not play the anthem and not watch a bunch of ghetto thugs kneel in disrespect. At least that’s why I figure Cuban did it. Trying to get back some of the fans that these criminal players offended.
What if everyone in the stands played the National Anthem on their phones with the volumes up and hopefully somewhat synched up.
I personally think they should just play circus music at pro games from now on. It just seems more fitting.
Too late. I started boycotting when they started taking a knee.
They’ll try to split the baby just like the NFL did in the Super Bowl - Rah, rah the flag and then put out type of wokeness too.
The people in the stands should just sing it acapella.
Send Mark Cuban to the showers.
I wondered about the same thing.
Look, playing the national anthem is supposed to be a uniting ritual before a sporting event. If it now primarily serves as a vehicle to show disrespect for our nation, I would just rather not have it played.
The reasoning is this: If they don’t play the national anthem, they can’t kneel to the national anthem.
Yeah, it’s interesting. I started getting a sports channel that plays Australian Baseball of all things. Who knew they played it down under? They also play the Russian Hockey League (KHL).
Ding, ding, ding! The NBA woke up when they started bleeding supporters and revenue - hahahaha! This lame attempt to force a traitor commie and China lover like Cuban to play the national anthem only highlights the fact that Cuban and his team is full of scum balls.
It’s like the Quickening. The insanity is speeding up.
America. So racist black men are paid millions of dollars to chase a ball.
Note to NBA: Scum!
They should play “Entry of the Gladiators “ by Fucik on a calliope as the clowns come onto the court.
They can shove their bouncy balls for all I care. I’m so done with them and their ilk.
