Mark Cuban has been brutally honest about his displeasure with the Dallas Mavericks since he sold his majority share to the Adelson family in December 2023. He thought he would still be in charge of basketball operations, but it wasn't allowed to be in the contract when he sold the team, and the Adelsons decided to hand the reins to Nico Harrison.
Cuban voiced his frustrations in a recent Facebook comment about his role with the team, but he also revealed that owning the Mavericks wasn't exactly a fruitful endeavor.
"You didn't say a word when [your bonus] showed up in your account. Did you? Sure looked good when we made it to the finals, didn't it?" Cuban responded to a post from a former employee saying he should be run out of Dallas. "I did every damn thing I could for 23 years. Kept prices lower than not only any NBA team, but lower than college teams too. I had $2 tickets for multiple years. When I sold there were always 4k tickets under $29. I made money 2 out of 23 years I was the majority owner. Lost hundreds of millions of dollars. And you kept on collecting your salary. So my dirty dollars didn't get a peep out of you those 23 years. Or when you got your check every two weeks.
Or when you got your bonus. Go back to what I said when I sold the team. I didnt want my kids and family to have to deal with people like you. I honestly got tired of the growing number of fans who became pricks on social media. People exactly like you. I paid your salary. I paid you a bonus I didn't have to give you.

Cuban is the only guy in the world who can become a billionaire and still bitch about it. He’s insufferable.
if he wasn’t the owner all those years would he have become as well known and become a TV personality?
its not just about the money.
NO DOUBT this moron lost $$$ on the Mavs and that is why Cooban was compelled to sell by the NBA!
23 years, not four, right,
Yeah, that confused me too.
Well that was pretty dumb then.
So can we gloat like liberals do over Musk’s Tesla losses?
23... not 4. Oopsie, more like 11% annual return then. Still, not bad.
New lenses take some getting used to.
How much did tax payers spend to build a stadium for a millionaire?

They had one thing. It was called pride.
