just when I felt sorry for the Mavs being stuck in the WestMark Cuban has really outdone himself this time: "From a business perspective, it's [the Kobe trial] great for the NBA. It's reality television, people love train-wreck television and you hate to admit it, but that is the truth, that's the reality today," Luckily, Big Poppa Stern won't have none of that: "Any suggestion that there will be some economic or promotional benefit to the NBA arising from the charge pending against Kobe Bryant is both misinformed and unseemly," Stern said in a statement. "That idea does not reflect the views of the NBA, NBA owners generally, or others associated with our sport." Mark Cuban deserves to be fined by the NBA for his comments. Plus, i'm sure his favorite charity could use the matching contribution. From ESPN.com |
