Mark Cuban is So Rich He's Basically Forfeiting Money in Tweet Calling Out Referees
By Mark Powell
I love Shark Tank as much as the next reality TV fanatic, but even I question how much money Mark Cuban really has to be forfeiting money in an overzealous tweet.
Cuban evidently disagreed with something on Saturday night in Dallas' eventual loss to the lowly Atlanta Hawks. The Mavs owner apparently couldn't get a word in with the officials on the court, so he took to Twitter to voice his displeasure.
Dare I say this is refreshing? The NBA succeeds when its personalities connect with the fans on a personal level, and there is no better way to do that than social media. But, and this is a major asterisk, it's rare that players, coaches, or in this case an owner takes their distaste for officials onto Twitter. That's just a fine waiting to happen, and Cuban is surely aware of that.
Cuban makes enough money not to care about that chump change, but for the rest of us it's rather surprising.
