tbh I know you're trying to be a ty troll but you don't remember Don Nelson and Cuban being in a huge ass fight because Cuban didn't want to play him in the 03 WCF?
ArtGarcia_NBA Nowitzki (@swish41) told me he's not worried about knee sprain & wants to play Thurs vs Spurs but isn't sure he will. #mavs

Actually, I think it was the other way around:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4351802
"Perhaps the most revealing do ent in the public record is the transcript of the arbitration hearing, which took place in June 2008.
During the hearing, Cuban and Nelson gave their versions of how their relationship unraveled, beginning with their disagreement over whether star forward Dirk Nowitzki should play against the San Antonio Spurs in the sixth game of the 2003 Western Conference finals.
Nelson withheld Nowitzki, who had suffered a knee injury earlier in the series, despite Cuban's entreaties to play him. The Mavericks lost the game and the series.
Cuban testified that he had assurances from team doctors that Nowitzki couldn't hurt the knee any worse and believed Nelson was trying to take pressure off himself by keeping the player on the bench. Nelson testified that he had a similar injury when he was a player and worried that playing Nowitzki could have a long-term effect.
"I didn't want to jeopardize this great young player's career for a basketball game, no matter how important it seemed at the time," Nelson testified."
Sorry, my mistake lol.
No worries...i mean, i can't even remember what i had for breakfast this morning... ;-) But seriously, I hope Dirk is okay...he's a great player and it's always a battle worth watching when he plays...
I don't know about anyone else, but I really don't expect him to be out for Thursday's game, so I'm definitely not going to get my hopes up. Dirk has never been an injury guy, and I think he's bouncing back fast.
But we will see.
