Mark Cuban is Kind of a Smart Ass

Mark Cuban made some interesting comments during his pregame press conference Thursday night. From the looks of it, Cuban is miserably failing Sarcasm 101 at David Stern University.

"I'm reborn. It's no longer Mark Cuban, the benefactor. It's Mark
Cuban, David Stern disciple. And I say that with all seriousness. ...I used to
spend a lot of time trying to really learn the details and the numbers, doing a
lot of research, because I was cynical and skeptical. I've lost all that
cynicism and skepticism. It's all gone. Sarcasm? There's no sarcasm.

Now I have new aspirations beyond winning the title in the NBA, and that's
to fit in and be like everybody else. They're smarter, they're better, they're
prettier, in better shape, they have nicer teeth.

I'll just keep a little diary. If I get that old urge to yell at the
officials, I'll just write it n the diary at the end of the night, just purge
all that anxiety because I know that they'll fix it. Everybody's human,
everybody makes mistakes. But they'll fix it. They're that good.

[While building his fortune, he must have ] got lucky the first time, the
second time, the third time, the fourth and the fifth time. I just didn't see
the light. And I apologize to my fellow NBA owners for not having seen
that light. Now I have. I plan on learning from the best.

Everything I'll learn, my gosh, just think of it, all the value to all of
my other businesses. Maybe 'Good Night, and Good Luck' (a movie he co-produced) would've won an Academy Award. I just didn't know. Now I know.

Oh, I love owning the Mavericks. The fans, the guys, the competition, the
games. Now it's just the added benefit of going to school at the University of
David Stern. I trust in David. Life is better."

Classic. Mark, it's nice to see you finally holding back a little.
