This is great. Deserved too. Hope its true. Seems credible given Cuban's behavior in the early to mid 2000s.
https://www.dmagazine.com/publicatio...int-in-dallas/Cuban quickly grew to resent me; it seemed his goal was to make my time in Dallas as miserable as possible. He rode me constantly, talked down to me, and questioned my manhood in front of others. During home games he'd grab his usual courtside perch and proceed to hurl obscenities at me.
"You're so ing slow and out of shape," Cuban screamed at me during a dead ball situation early in my ill-fated tenure with the Mavs. "Waste of ing money."
"What the are you doing?"
"Hustle, dammit!"
"This is just awful."
The owner of the team was heckling me. He was cursing me out in front of fans and players. It said "Dallas" on my chest. I play for you, asshole! Would Jerry Buss, owner of the Lakers, ever do something like this? Would any decent human?
If true... wow. Reminds me of when Donald Sterling used to heckle Baron Davis from the stands.

Normally that type of thing would be pretty inexcusable, but in this case, Lamar Odom.
Can't blame Cuban for trying to field a winner and being passionate about winning. Odom was comfortable riding coattails and cashing checks to blow it on pros utes and cocaine.
I can understand. LO left the Lakers and completely mailed it in. He was 6th man of the year the year before.
weak mentality.
when i used to workout at the boxing gym we got hit afterwards 10-15 times in the gut with a big pvc pipe if one of us was ing around while training. guess how many of us cried about it? now guess how many of us were paid millions and cried about it? my trainer was harsh on us but the results proved positive and we all developed thick skin and strong mentalities.
only pussies cry about stupid like LO is crying about.
Odom was in a horrible physical and mental shape when he showed up in Dallas. Disappointment from the staff and fans was the least that should be expected. But still, Cuban crossed the line.
Odom needed psychological help and probably should not have been allowed to suit up for games at all.

He deserved to be heckled. Got that big contract and did nothing but around snorting cocaine and ing hookers. Pathetic
almost killed himself in the fall of 2015
Upgrade to absolutely should not.
Horrible signing.
As an addict he may have contributed to the bogus signing by faking his way thru some song and dance about rehab. Cuban may have had a soft spot in his heart then got angry when he realized he had been played.
Ice Cube just had to boot Odom from the 3 on 3 league.
Deserved every word of it and then some.
Worst Mav in team history. Right up there with fellow quitter, Derek Fisher.
No more Lakers, please, EVER.
Don’t forget “ Breath” Devean George.
now he's gonna be on the disney channel dancing with the stars.
someone should have been heckling cuban for signing odom to begin with.
Odom gonna be bankrupt within five years and dead within ten. Book it.
