He looks very unhealthy lately. Older than his age. Who knows?

[–] Razzorsharp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe he's about to buy the San Jose Sharks and go on a show about magicians?

[–] Temporary-Network-44@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He may have been diagnosed with something severe or life threatening. This is what every human does when faced with death... Or maybe he's just bored with all the stupidity that that idiotic show and a professional sports team may produce.

Calling it now. He’s getting into politics.

[–] jankology@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mark Cuban didn't found Broadcast.com. He invested in it. Then took it over from the true founder. He sold it to Yahoo for $5.7 billion.

Adelson was named the publisher of Israel Hayom, the most widely read newspaper in Israel, in 2018, a position she still holds.She is also a voting member on the board of trustees at the University of Southern California. Adelson is currently in the process of becoming majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks, after an agreement to buy the team for $3.5 billion from Mark Cuban, who would retain an ownership stake and managment of the organization.

She has written that Trump "should enjoy sweeping support" among U.S. Jews and Israelis, and that Trump deserves a "Book of Trump" in the Bible due to his support for Israel

Noteworthy- Miriam Adelson and husband Sheldon are major Republican donors from the Jewish community. They invest in stifling conversation on Israel/Palestine. Needless to say, Kyrie will be thrilled

[–] aaronlovescrypto@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Owners treat these teams like stocks, sometimes you just have to sell high even if you don't want to. This team with Luka is worth like $1 bil more than without him

[–] SexyWampa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’m calling it now. He’ll announce he’s running for president soon.

[–] ben1204@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We will miss you Mark, thanks for Brunson ❤️

[–] SatinySquid_695@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Oh shit is he about to get accused of something?

[–] jankology@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's gonna YOLO it all on crypto and bored Apes 2.o !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being a pro sports team owner is barely a full time job though for most of these guys.

Maybe he fell in love.

[–] Ill_Celery_7654@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (41 children)

He’s for sure about to become a politician.

[–] clintgreasewoood@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Governor of Texas? Maybe challenge Ted Cruz for Senate

[–] Legalize-Birds@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Or theres about to be more scandalous accusations coming out from things he's apart of

[–] Either-Wallaby-3755@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Or he got a cancer diagnosis

[–] Possible-End-8743@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just what this country needs another billionaire in power. I can't wait for the sweeping changes in the material conditions for the working class "nice" guy cuban might propose.

I guess we are just removing the middle man now and giving the keys right to those who've been paying our politicians off rather than putting systems in place to stop the corruption and purchasing of our democracy. But I forgot..money is the only virtue in America it seems.

[–] tomhalejr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

That was my first thought. Didn't he mention something during the last presidential cycle about it? Like, not now, or timing didn't work out (with ballot qualifications I assume), or something like that?

My first question was “Is he depressed?”

[–] TheWonderfulLife@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yea there’s no other explanation. He literally LOVES both those things. And nothing outside of becoming a political figure prevents him from continuing to be on TV and be a primary professional sports owner. And he’s gonna fund his own way.

He’s got my vote 😂

[–] WarPuig@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s running.

[–] richb83@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly, Republicans would probably line up to get him on the ticket to move away from the other guy.

[–] Outbound3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’d vote for him instead of Biden or trump. It’s the trumper main argument he’s a business man, only unlike trump he hasn’t bankrupteddamn near every business he’s ever owned

Or about to get exposed

He literally just spoke about Shark Tank on All the Smoke as if everything was normal?

[–] DyslexicAutronomer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well the Shark Tank reputation has been tanking in recent years, with all their stars getting involved in all sorts of shady deals around crypto, real estate and training dealings outside of the show.

Kevin O' leary for example advocated for Bankman Fried all the way to his prison cell, and a number of his crypto companies like WonderFi(branded to his moniker) had Bankman's backing before hiding it after Sam got exposed.

Some sharks ran real estate "camps" with false adverstising where it was implied they would be there, but they never turned up etc.

List goes on, but it was smart of Cuban to jump off the sinking ship.

Local rumors are gambling is about to be legal in Texas (no citation so apologies). It’s either he wants to build the first casino/maybe arena or yeah… run for office

[–] armyshawn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Rockets owner has multiple Casinos, and has been lobbying to legalize gambling in Texas for years. He wants to build a Casino by the water in Galveston.

Massive gambler Mattress Mack from Houston, and interests in Oklahoma, and Louisiana are lobbying against it.

I just hope he's buying the Padres

[–] jankology@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Today I learned that Mark Cuban's real last name was "Chabenisky". His grandfather changed it. His maternal grandparents were Romanian Jewish .

Miriam Adelson who Chabenisky is selling to was born Miriam Farbstein. She is the richest Israeli in the world.

[–] EifertGreenLazor@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Kyrie got to him. Flat Earthers rejoice.

[–] onwee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You think Cuban is liquidating for the next big thing?

[–] MInkton@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This makes me think he got a diagnosis...
Hope he is all good.

[–] So_ManyLlamas@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The cool thing is that he’ll stay on to run operations. That is awesome. He clearly loves the game and the team. No other reason he’d do that except for loving the game.
