Mark Cuban is a joke.

It was announced today that Cuban is suing Don Nelson, the former Dallas Maverick coach and current Golden State Warrior coach, for using inside information to beat the Mavericks in the playoffs. Basically, Cuban is suing Nellie for owning Cuban and the Mavs in the playoffs, in the most embarrassing upset in NBA history. I mean, as if the Mavs playoff exit wasn't cruel enough. This makes me want to laugh.

"I'm embarrassed by the whole thing," Nellie told Big Ed Sefko, but I reckon
Cuban doesn't have enough dignity to feel the same way.
Steve Nash better
thank his lucky stars that the Suns lost to the Mavs in the 2006 playoffs, or
Cuban might have taken him to court, too.
If Cuban wins this case, Avery
needs to watch out. I'm sure the Spurs can present a pretty convincing case that
Avery's inside info helped the Mavs eliminate San Antonio in last season's
conference semis.

Obviously, this is somewhat of a counter-attack against Nellie's lawsuit against the Mavs where he says he is owed $6.5 Million. Cuban is so rich and has so many lawyers sitting around and doing nothing that he can just try to bury Nellie in paperwork and bogus lawsuits to hope he folds. I hope Nellie comes out on top on this one. This is one of the major reasons why fell like Cuban has no class and that, disappointingly, transcends throughout the Maverick organization. It makes me proud to be an American when I know that a rich bully can basically do whatever he wants when it comes to the court system to almost make it impossible for the underdog to succeed.... I HATE MARK CUBAN... GO NELLIE!
