Nice story dude is an ass, but a good guy by all accounts.

He does have a heart!
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban never has been shy about sharing his (usually brash) opinions, but deep down, we've always known he is a good guy.
He proved he had a soft side recently when he helped a pair of Mavs fans live out their dream.
Monica Wilkinson and her fiance, Leroy, had been planning to marry since 2009, but a string of sad and expensive events, including multiple miscarriages and the stillbirth of their daughter, put the nuptials on the back-burner.
In January, Wilkinson was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer. The couple reached out to multiple charity organizations to see if anybody could help them finally make their dream come true, and unfortunately, no one was able to help.
Insert Cuban.
One day, Wilkinson says, she got a call from Cuban's assistant saying the Mavs owner was going to pay for their wedding.
After the initial shock wore off, the Watauga couple enjoyed a lavish wedding last month.
"I felt like a princess," Wilkinson told Janet St. James of WFAA.
When asked if he had a message for Cuban, Leroy simply responded, "Thank you. She means the world to me."
Props to Cuban sons! As much as I hate this guy because he represents our rival Mavs, he is really a passionate basketball fan and deep down a good person imo
Nice story dude is an ass, but a good guy by all accounts.
Makes your heart warm a little--dude can be opinionated but this act is a great one.
i wonder if they decided to have a million dollar wedding after that phone call
Hope the girl recovers.
The money spent on that wedding is money Cuban wipes his ass with daily. If I could get some good publicity by giving someone a $5, I would do it too. Doesn't prove to me unless he legitimately made a real sacrifice for someone or for a cause.
~ one in five chance, hopefully she's as luck as the Cavs
meh, he just has a lot of money and is in the spotlight
class
rofl, the goods. The bad part is that he gives away money to random people but steals years off his franchise player's career by tearing up championship teams and surrounding him with corpses IMHO

So what? No one made him do it and a couple gets their wedding paid for, who's the victim here?
He paid for Leroy's wedding... not racist! amirite, Jacob?
nice getsure by the cubes
Stillborn? Preggers out of wedlock? God punished them, Cubes should know this.
props to Cuban, an asshole but one of the better owners in the league.
I'm starting to think letting Tyson Chandler go was a bad idea, call me crazy.
Good for Cuban, tbh.
Yeah, I'm really starting to think that was a mistake as well.
Can't hate on that, nice work by Cuban.
Cuban has always been one of the best team owners in NBA imho, now he shows even more virtue outside of being a successful businessman and a basketball fan.
P.R. Marketing move is all that is. It would actually be an impressive act of kindness if it were kept out of the media attention.
