| |
| Unlike the owners of most other sports teams, Cuban chooses to sit courtside along with the rest of the Mavericks’ fans instead of in luxury boxes.

It is as if the game exists only for them. Many will say that yes, the game does exist for the fans, for without the fans, where would the game be? I'd like to throw a wrench into that argument and say that, yes the fans are an important part of the game, but without the players, the game wouldn't exist either. |
