If he sold the Mavs and bought the Spurs now, most would probably hate him and eventually learn to like him...
but he'd bought the Spurs in the mid-late 90's, SA would love him...
FACT
! Where is Patrick Davis when you need him?
WE NEED A FORUM RENDITION OF THE NASH STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Cuban owned the Spurs the fans there would love him...
The fact that he gets on the nerves of everyone that's not a Mavs fan is greatness
If Cuban owned the Spurs he would've brought back Bob Hill.
Not really. Spurs probably wouldn't have 3 les in the bank with his dumb arse running the show.
And used the amnesty clause on Ginobili after one bad game.
Since when is rank speculation about something that didn't happen a FACT?
Learn to like him? I like the Spurs, because of their non-chalantness. If the owner is as overboard as Cuban, then I'd be sick of him after a few games. Cuban is to the Mavs what Puff Daddy was to Biggie: The source of funds, but too involved in the action.
hey sparky, change your avatar before people start making fun of your height.
Come on..Cuban did it for strictly entertainment purposes? If he wanted to get a point across the officials what better way to do it..
He's not the guy making the basketball decisions...Nellie was a lot of the problem.
It's not like the Spurs haven't missed on a few things...ie, Josh Howard / Barbosa...
Because Spurs fans have no other team to cheer for...they'd learn to like Cuban...
Question is if they learned to like Cuban would that put them closeer to the classlessness of Dallas fans. Sadly, as much as I like to think otherwise, I'm afraid Cuban would rub off on San Antonio.
The Barbosa thing is misunderstood. The Spurs didn't draft Barbosa for themselves and apparently weren't interested in Barbosa. They got a first round pick out of that deal anyway, and used the pick to net a center who played an important role to winning a championship. In all, I'd say Barbosa wasn't a mistake by the Spurs -- it was a trade-off that worked quite well.
They missed on Josh Howard. But they absolutely have excelled on Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker and found some potential with Beno Udrih. Plus, they have a farm system of kids in Europe. So, even with the Howard miss, the Spurs have found at least two young all-stars and have developed a pipeline of prospects all with picks at the end of Round 1 or somewhere in Round 2.
The make mistakes, but they haven't made too many in recent years.
That Spurs fans cheer for the Spurs doesn't mean that they will learn to like the Spurs' owner. If you had read this forum for very long, you'd learn that a significant number of posters here have disliked some of the decisions made by the current ownership group and been quite vocal about those disagreements. I suspect that the same folks who quibble with decisions made by Peter Holt and dislike him for those decisions would find reason to quibble with Mark Cuban and dislike him for some of his decisions as well. Supporting a team does not necessarily require supporting or liking that team's owner.
