Donald Trump was a guest on Stephen A. Smith's ESPN radio show yesterday. The meeting of two of the most annoying people on the planet turned into a bashing of Mark Cuban.
“Mark Cuban is a guy, you know, Mark is a loser," Trump said. "Mark should have won last year …
“I just saw the tremendous spirit that that team had in going against the Mavericks. It was incredible. If look at what Cuban does, I think he puts so much pressure on the player. He wants to win so much. He wants to put himself in the position of the players. He wants to be a player, I guess. And he’s not a player.
“He’s the owner of the team and as the owner of team he puts so much pressure on those player that they choke. And they choked. …
“He probably always wanted to be a winner in life. If you look like him, you can’t be a winner. He wants to put himself in place of the players. So what happens is the team chokes.”
Trump also talked about what a terrible disaster Cuban's foray into reality TV was. Trump called 'The Benefactor' a rip-off of his hit, 'The Apprentice,' and said he knew it was doomed to fail.
“The same thing with the Mavericks," Trump said. "The Mavericks have a great team. They’ll never win with Mark Cuban as the owner because he’s not a winner.”
