    Basically Bleacher Report posted a tweet saying Dirk was one of the greatest but it was a clip of him shooting an airball 3. Cuban got mad, cried, and emailed them with threats. I blame the Javale/Warriors crying at Shaq for setting a precedent of being oversensitive. Turner Sports catching flack over everything now smh.

    Does this make Cuban the Javale McGee of owners?

    I'm not mad at him. He is defending his player at every turn. Morey tries to do the same thing with Harden.

    Morey never contacted David Levy about the Shaqtin MVP, which was a much worse attack than a random blog post on their shitty sports website.

    I guess we won't discuss Les making Tad Brown protest to TNT and the league about Barkley's treatment of Houston.

    Cuban trying to make himself look like he's defending his player so other FAs would take notice. Unfortunately it just highlights Dirk's airball more and Cuban comes off as sincere as Shaq comes off as funny. Screw the Mavs

    I'd be pretty pissed if someone tweeted a tribute to the Dream with a video of him air balling a shot as a broken down Toronto Raptor. I don't have a problem with Cuban standing up for his player.

    Bleacher Report is a bunch of negative, irreverent dickwads that use bullshit headlines like "XYZ's jump shot/house/car is better than yours"

    Bleacher Report should have stuck to their guns. Cuban would just end up looking like a baby.

    Yeah whatever the Rockets did somehow got an on-air apology from Barkley, which is something I would have NEVER thought would happen. I'm willing to bet the Rockets did a little more than just send a Gmail threatening to communicate with their millenials.
