Love him or hate him--you must admit, he's brilliant. Cuban,
Mark Cuban that is, is the owner of the NBA team the Dallas Mavericks--among other things. He became a billionaire in the mid-90's when he and a friend came up with broadcast.com which started the audio broadcast wave on the internet. The technology was bought by Yahoo for, let's say a lot of money.
Why do I love Mark? His spirit. He has been incredibly successful, buying the Dallas Mavs in 2000 and turning the franchise into a much more marketable and successful entity. He gave them personality, pizzazz. One of his trademark moves was drafting Dennis Rodman (of Detroit Piston fame), the ultimate "badboy" in basketball, causing an uproar, stir and a presence under the basket. More importantly, it got the Mavs on TV more often.
I remember stopping at a bar in Dallas about 8-9 years ago-- on one of my husband and my adventures. There was a big screen tv, that's not so odd. What was odd: the bartender invited us back for a broadcast later that week in HD, you know before HD was HD. You guessed it, it was a experimental site for Mark Cuban. He owns HDNet! It's his baby.
Does the proverbial ball go out of the park every time he swings the bat? No. I remember seeing him on a program about a year ago, and he was convinced that America was going to have a "Bidet Epiphany." He talked about the potty more that a toddler "in training."
Why is he so successful? Here's my take. He puts his money where his mouth is, he follows his passion, he has passion, and he's still a kid at the age of 51 .

My husband and I LOVE the Dallas Mavs. 
I swear my husband grilled me incessantly about being a Mav Fan before we got married. I insist it was a type of crazy pre-nup. It worked, I am hooked. Through all of their ups and downs, we are MFFL (Mavs Fan for Life). We can't wait for Basketball Season. But until then "Go Texas Rangers! (MLB Baseball).
