	== Possible Mark Cuban/Gary Weiss edit war ==

	It seems that Mr. Cuban is editing under the username {{user\|Mcuban}} after being led to believe that {{user\|Mantanmoreland}} is Gary Weiss and has written as such in his blog . Because of this, I believe that this article might become a target for anon edits and POV vandalism.

	There is always some contention when a notable person starts editing their own article and this should serve as some sort of warning. --] 02:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

	Mantanmoreland is doing the same thing under Patrick Byrne's bio also . Can we get an admin to investigate? --] 11:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

What is a R.K.O that is referred to under trivia? It doesn't make anysense and the link goes to an article about wrestling throws but I can't find a R.K.O mentioned? Maybe I'm blind, or maybe I'm just new to wikipedia, but I didn't want to edit the article in case it was just me. Prehaps someone else, with a bit more "wiknowledge", could fix this up.

I removed "Paid a million dollar fine in pennies" from the triva section because on 01-31-2006 said on that it wasn't true.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Cuban had anything to do with the acquisitions of Nash, Finley, nor Nowitzki. Finley's been there since the '96-'97 season and Nash & Nowitzki both arrived in '98-'99. The article says in it that Cuban purchased the team in 2000.

i dont find this article neutral and is more a boost for cuban's ego!

why did Nash leave the team or was he fired?

This page has two different dates for the purchase of the team's jet. Please correct. Under Guinness Record reference, the year is one year earlier than the purchase's previous reference in this article

You're right -- Cuban didn't have anything to do with the acqusitions of Nash, Finley and Nowitzki. I just edited that out. I agree, too, that the tone is not objective. It should also be fixed.

Rivalry

I think it would be cool to include his bitter rival with Donald Trump. I watched ESPN 2's "Quite Frankly with Stephen A. Smith", that had Cuban as a guest, and it was fun to learn of the rival between the 2 men. Cuban said of Trump, "Once and idiot, always an idiot," after showing a clip of "Quite Frankly" when Stephen A. had Trump as a guest. I can't remember everything that was said, but both men were taking verbal shots at each other.

Also, his feud with Phil Jackson?

The origin of Mark's surname (Cuban)

To the layman, it would seem that his surname is an Americanized version of the Island country Cuba. Is Mark Cuban of Cuban heritage?

--> A blog contains the following quote from an un-cited article "The Maverick" in the Austin American-Statesman: "In high school, he was a “better than average” student who would hole up in the library. “I was the heavy kid who wore glasses,” says Cuban, whose Russian Jewish grandparents changed the family name from Chopininski when they came to America."

Nash

Nash was a free agent. Nash left the Mavs because Cuban was looking for a sign and trade with him and Shaq.

No, Nash left because the Mavericks didn't offer him enough money.

The second is more correct. The Mavericks couldn't really offer Nash enough money, because it would push them over the cap, which would cost a lot more. According to Cuban, the Mavericks never got an offer for Shaq. Figharrrburt 02:59, 28 May 2006

Speaking appearances

I erased this section because it seemed fairly irellevant. It seems like the highschool just wanted to get their name on Cuban's page. He does a fair amount of speaking, and this instance wasn't anything special. 24.193.107.183 20:34, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Isn't Mark Cuban a Homosexual???

I always thought Mark was gay and it was pretty much a well known fact. Why no discussion about his homosexuality in the article? I know he "married" a woman, but it's funny how you never see him with her. He exudes femininity if you ask me.

Considering you edited the Fallout Boy article, I don't think you have any room to talk. Figharrrburt 03:03, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

outside perspective

Figharrrburt removed a comment concerning how Mark Cuban is perceived by fans of other teams with the snide comment "sorry, this isn't a Spurs forum." Mr. Fingharbutt, it's not a Mavs forum, either, and Cuban is incredibly annoying to many people outside of Dallas. There are comments in this discussion stating that the tone of the article is not objective ... and your deletion continues that trend. The sentences removed could be written better, but if you are going to call him "the fan's dream (come true)," you need to balance this with how non-Mavs fans perceive him.
