Yawn.

Mark Cuban doing....something.

I think Mark Cuban is good for the NBA.  I even hoped that he would somehow figure out a way to buy the Pirates.  There’s a team that could use a breath of life.   He brings a lot of attention to the sport, and the NBA needs as many people talking about it as possible.   I love that he attacks the commissioner’s office when he feels like it’s necessary, and kills the referees (I have a soft spot for ref haters), but the feud he has going with Kenyon Martin needs to go away. 

This story has legs like the swine flu.  You think it’s over with, and then it comes back.  I was trying not follow it too closely. I’m no NBA junkie.  I heard that Cuban possibly referred to Martin or other players as thugs, and then there was some type of confrontation with his Martin’s mother.   Cuban is the owner of the Mavericks, he has to be somewhat careful of who he feuds with.  To me, this seems like an apology, and move on, but now today I’m reading about it on espn.com again. 

The latest shot comes from Martin, who calls Cuban a “coward.”  Martin needs to move on as well.  Get ready for the Lakers or something Kenyon.  You don’t have to worry about Cuban or the Mavs anymore, you beat them.  Fire off the timeless classic, “scoreboard”, and we’ll get on with series. 

I don’t know if these people seek the spotlight themselves, or if they have advisers in their ears telling them it’s been a a few days since they’ve been on PTI and it’s time to stir the pot…who knows.  I know I’m basically contradicting myself by writing about it, but I’m really not writing about the feud, just that I’m tired of it.  I’d rather be talking about something else.  Who had a good sandwich over the weekend?
