All I know is that Mark Cuban is the only owner I care about to watch. He knows basketball, he knows business, and he knows people. Hope he stays around for many more years.

When he first came into the NBA, I found Mark Cuban brash and cocky, but, over time, I've come to appreciate him, both as an owner and a philanthropist and a good person. Great interview all around. Matt and Stack, keep up the great work you've been doing!

[@SuperNuclearUnicorn]

He was brash and cocky lol, but he grew up and matured I guess

[@bshayc79]

Yeah his likeability has definitely flip flopped in a big way over the last decade plus. Possibly one of the most likeable owners in all of sports now

[@fobinc]

The previous ownership group made it hard to like the team too. Happy to hear loyal fans get rewarded

[@zacharyahrens327]

That entry fee idea for Big 3 is actually an amazing idea. Young guys that aren't pros trying to compete against older pros might be the model for them.

[@spce956]

Word. Hoop It Up tournaments vy 4 chance 2 play against BIG3 players

[@MoralesCorner]

The thing about the Big 3 is that, even if they're former NBA players with lots of talent still, they're pushing 40 or 50 and people can't be bothered to watch that other than for the fact of coming to see former NBA players. They really need to pump in some competition to make it more interesting and elevate the pace of the game

[@Vichinsky-ox8px]

Especially High school players who unranked looking for scholarships. It would be dope.

[@ChrisBasdeo]

40:40 Mark talking about Brandon Roy playing the last great game he ever played, that performance doesn't get talked about enough, dude won the game playing with no knees

[@MoralesCorner]

B Roy was a beast. It's a shame he's not talked about more. We all talk about what would have happened if D Rose never got injured but what about Roy? The sky was the limit for him too. Healthy Brandon Roy can ball with the best of them.

[@ChrisBasdeo]

@MoralesCorner He didn't even hit his prime yet before his knees went bad. Even Kobe said B Roy had no weakness in his game

[@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570]

B-Roy was a monster it’s a shame his body betrayed him. Wouldve been an incredible legacy.

[@707pesci]

​@@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570BRoy said he could of came back. But knew he couldn't play at the level he had reach anymore, so he retired. Respect

[@silewis9396]

​@@707pesciI remember watching his last game... after his retirement with Portland he came back to play for the Timberwolves for a few games and he tweaked a knee, hobbled off the court by himself right past the bench straight to the locker room never to play again. I knew he was done.

[@brianruff1133]

Mark is like the ultimate NBA fan, and an owner. Pretty amazing to see how hyped he is talking about ball, and he remembers so many details about old games!

Mark Cuban is actually a really nice guy he came to my bar back in 08 around and everyone was like "GO SPURS GO!!!" He was like "yea yea yea and laughing about it" but he came behind the bar and started tipping everyone hundred dollars.
