Did anyone see him on the "Hot Seat" questionaire segment on ESPN? I think I read somewhere he's 41 years old but he seemed real young and hip in this ESPN segment. When they asked him what CD's are in his car CD player right now, he replied with artists like DMX, Outkast and Jay-Z. Then I thought maybe they belong to his kids, (if he has kids), but he started calling out the titles of the CD's. So what's up? Who knows the Mavericks owner well enough? Is he really this hip or is this a front to look cool representing an NBA team? He appears to me to be real loose.

I WANT him SO BADDDDDD!!!

I would take Mark Cuban over ANYONE in the world, well...except for my lover....

He isn't that hunky, but he is just sexy to me!
Theo
Pacerpride, are you sure it's not all those $$$$ that make him sexy?

He acts like a goofy immature kid sometimes, so maybe he is into all that music.

Theo.....it could be the $$$$$, that makes him sexy to me.....all I know, is that something draws me towards him!!!!

Whatever it is....let it happen...PLEASE!!!!

Mark Cuban doesn't have any children and was just recently married for the first time. He shows public displays of affection with his wife at every game. I too, think that there is something attractive about him. I saw that same ESPN segment and think that it is interesting that most of his CD's in his car, were of the hip hop variety. I am thrilled that we have the youngest, hippest, owner in the NBA. Being a huge Mavericks fan, I think that he is great for the NBA. All of the players and coaches love playing and working for him, and the fans (including myself) think that he is awesome. He has definitely been instrumental in turning the Dallas Mavericks from a perennial doormat into a legitimate NBA championship contender. I really like his personality!!

No matter what you say about Cuban, he's been genius and has restored a love for the game in Dallas. Though he doesn't dress or listen to music typical of a sports franchise owner, I think it makes him all the more interesting.

FYI: Cuban is an Indiana grad -- in journalism, of all things! -- who made a ton of money in the dot-com gold rush (broadcast.com, I think), then sold the web site just in time to get real money ... which he used to buy the Mavs. (He's given some to dear old IU and various causes too.) He's a bit of hothead sometimes, mainly about officiating ... call it Hoosier Syndrome.

I love the running battle that Mark Cuban and Shaq have going on. You just know that, deep down, they really love each other!

The Mavs have to actually do something in the playoffs before Cuban talks shit though. Barring injuries, this could be their year.

Re: his musical tastes. Jay-Z? A little too commercial, eh? Outkast's Stankonia is a great record though.

hold up! hold up! hold the hell up!!!

Jay-Z is too commercial but Outkast "sorry miss Jackson" is not??? Hello?

I find Mark Cuban to be very very sexy. Not because of the money. but he has a real sense of irreverence and humor that I find to be really charming. true .. being a billionaire allows him to be irreverent. but he's like the fun, cool dude to hang with. ya know? I mean.. any billionaire that loses a bet and so works in a Dairy Queen for a day has to be cool.

I was just notified of this thread. I don't follow the NBA at all, so that's why I did know about this thread. I fell for Cuban the first time I saw him, but I agree with a couple of the other guys. It's not the money at all. It's his personality while being a team owner. He totally atkes care of his players and looks like he genuinely loves them and his fans. What gets me is that he a big kid. I love that in a guy. Not stuck up or pretentious at all.
