Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is so passionate about his team that often times he comes off like a fan with really good seats rather than the owner of an NBA franchise. Watching the San Antonio Spurs eliminate his Mavs from the playoffs Thursday night drove Cubes to assault a Gatorade jug. He have the skills of Carlos Zambrano but he’ll get there with a few more first round exits.

After the game Mark displayed his inner LeBron James to a TNT cameraman that caught him sulking.

From the Dallas Morning News:

Cuban isolated himself in a small room inside the visiting locker room at the AT&T Center. He sat in a chair with his head down for several minutes before finally emerging.

He wasn’t happy with a TNT cameraman in the locker room whom he had noticed filming him. Cuban told a Mavericks media relations person to obtain the tape from the cameraman.

After the depression and anger wear off I expect Cuban and the Mavericks to get busy in the 2010 free agent pool. Make Dirk Nowitzki the second option behind Dwyane Wade or LeBron James and the Mavs get to the second round of the playoffs easily..

Mark Cuban hosted WWE RAW in Dallas Monday night and received the welcome the guests normally get from the entertainers wrestlers. Cody Rhodes taunted Cubes, Shawn Marion, and Drew Gooden, and at one point Cuban said WWE refs are worse than NBA refs. David Stern probably didn’t laugh. Cuban carried out the WWE act until the end when Sheamus slammed him through a table to the mat.

Too bad that wasn’t Donald Sterling.

There’s bad news for anybody that was looking forward to Roy Jones Jr. boxing mixed martial artist Anderson Silva. UFC President Dana White says he will not grant permission for Silva to participate in the match if terms are reached. Since White is the Prez he has veto power over Silva’s dealings while Silva is under contract with the UFC.

I wish I could see Jones and Silva fight, but I also understand where Dana White’s coming from. The UFC and Silva have everything to lose and nothing to gain. If Anderson beats Roy, he beat a has been that’s past his prime. If Jones wins, then Silva lost to a has been that’s past his prime. He would pocket a fat paycheck but other than that it’s lose-lose for Silva.

For the last year and a half or so, fans of boxing and MMA have been going back and forth about which sport is better. The answer is clearly boxing, but instead of arguing the two sides should join forces. I’m talking about one event, pay-per-view or not, with boxing matches and MMA fights. I’m not sure how the organizers would put a ring and an octagon side by side, but if they can put monster trucks and dirt bike races inside buildings, then this small problem can be solved. The cost of a PPV would probably jump $25 or more though you’d have to admit a card with Mayweather-Cotto and Silva-Okami would be worth the price. This seems like an idea that Mark Cuban and his maverick ways could make happen.

I gotta give Cuban props since I said he didn’t stand a chance.. That wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be, and it was probably 25 times better than Master P. Shout out to Awful Announcing for watching DWTS, and high five to The Sports Hernia for the pics from the show.

I didn’t get a chance to catch ABC’s Dancing With The Stars last night… Well, “Didn’t get a chance” isn’t the right way to put it. I didn’t watch DWTS. I have less than zero interest in the show.. I will say this, if Mark Cuban dances like this on tv, he’s going home first.

I admire what Stephon Marbury is doing with his $15 dollar shoes. People talk about “keepin it real”, that’s keepin it really real. Some of the on the court criticism of Steph is of his own creating, but I think he takes a lot flack just for being Stephon Marbury. When I think of Starbury, I think of Georgia Tech, what could have been with a Marbury/Garnett combo, and New York City.. The one thing I don’t think of is parenting advice.

A potato in the bed with a sick kid? String on the head for hiccups? I hate getting the hiccups.. I wonder if the string thing works for grown folk?.? Anyways… I found a list of some more Marbury medical tips for parents.

1. An empty glass next to the bed stops bed wetting.
2. “Hair of the neck of Gooden” is wonderful for pink eye.
3. Driving a child around in a Bentley clears up Chicken Pox.
4. Scoring 30 against the Bucks helps in the fight against childhood obesisty.
5. Playing X-Box reduces swelling.

Steph caught up with Randy Moss 3 days before Moss was moved to New England. Think that had anything to do with Randy saying Tom Brady is the quarterback he most wanted to play with? Naaahh..

I have never seen Marbury’s show  even though it was first brought to my attention (The Stephen A. diss) a few months ago by True Sports Fans via Deadspin.
