Full podcast episode: ua-cam.com/video/0cn3VBjfN8g/v-deo.html Lex Fridman podcast channel: ua-cam.com/users/lexfridman Guest bio: Mark Cuban is a businessman, investor, star of TV series Shark Tank, long-time principal owner of Dallas Mavericks, and founder of Cost Plus Drugs.
He is right I remember very few of the scores of the games I have gone to. The game generates emotions that you share with your friends. You remember the emotions with your friends.
What Cuban did have a large impact on though, was after the 2006 nba finals he was so upset at the results and what he described as poor officiating in favour of Dwayne Wade, that he went on a huge tangent to the league office and sparked off what became the worst era of officiating in the modern history of the league so thanks Cuban lol, although it seems that this year the refs have started to back off with the ridiculous foul calls
He is literally the reason we only won 1 ring and not multiple. I dont want to hear shit about how he "turned the Mavs around" Literally the first trade deadline he is not longer GM and we go and ge the exact pieces we needed to get good. He has hampered the Mavs just as much as he's "turned them around" Luckily he lost a lot of money in crypto and had to sell the team and no longer fets to make major basketball decisions.
@@MemesOfProduction69 in the 20 years before Mark Cuban bought the team, the mavericks win percentage was 40% and they were 21-32 in the playoffs. 10 years after Mark Cuban bought them, they went to a 69% win percentage and 49-57 in the playoffs, including their FIRST trip to the finals in 2006. In 2011 they actually won the championship against the favored Miami Heat. You can criticize him for the way he rebuilt the team, but most of the mfs on that team were old and they wanted better pieces around Dirk. They weren’t going to repeat, anyone with eyes could see that team wasn’t going to do anything in 2012. Stop it.
@@ixsuperxi because he bought a team that had just drafted Dirk. He failed to put genuine top level teams around Dirk that entire time. Dirk was dragging teams through the regular season just to hardly ever have enough to get it done in the playoffs. HE let Nash go. HE let Brunson go when we could have had him for 4 years 72m. HE let Tyson go only for the Mavs to not find a competent center until the year he sells the team. HE is the one who thought he could be both owner and GM. YOU stop being disingenuous about this shit are realize that he failed the team and Dirk on multiple occasions.
@@spaceguy.x the full length version? Certainly did, and these distorting tidbits give me the impression of a different man than I’ve seen at the original.

Cuban’s defense and rebounding put them over the top.
It’s cool seeing mark being so passionate about basketball considering all the other things he has going on in his life
I, A lex / computer science / mavericks fan, am stoked.
“I went with my buddy and he threw up on the guy in front of us.” Lmfao.

Mark is sharp. He looks tyred.

Totally agree! He’s a joke of an owner, letting Brunson go for nothing was the latest example of “turning things around”
1 ring is better than 0. You can speculate but you can’t count rings you don’t have
@@ixsuperxi and he immediately blew up that Championship team. Can't count the one we didn't win because of Mark Cuban.

Mark Cuban is not his real last name guys
He won 1 championship in 25 years. He's not exactly the Andy Reid of NBA owners.
The fact this guy refuses to let go of his hair instead of going bald, getting a transplant or a hair system is very weird.
His hair looks amazing for his age… why would you get rid of that
Most people his age will kill to still have that hair
Why is any of that weird? Just think about what you said for a second…like, really think.
Should've pressed him harder on his baseless DEI claims.
I strongly dislike UA-cam for forcing content producers like you to come up with these horrid short clips…
??? yet you watched it? 😂

@@cunever my point being you fed the algorithm regardless, reinforcing what you dislike.
@@spaceguy.x story of my life 😢, always feeding the algorithm with the broccoli I don’t like🤣
Unfortunately I stopped watching basketball when they started promoting anti America stuff. I wasn't there for politics... So I left.
