Mark Cuban NBA Team
Cuban owns the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) along with Dallas Mavericks, co-owner of 2929 Entertainment, and chairman of AXS TV. He is as well one of the main “shark” investors on the ABC reality television series, Shark Tank. He as well partnered in Synergy Sports Technology, a web-based basketball scouting, and video delivery tool, used by many NBA teams. Back in January 4, 2000, he purchased a majority stake in the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks for $285 million from H. Ross Perot, Jr.
Some 20 years before he bought the team, the Mavericks earned only 40% of their games and a playoff record of 21–32. In the 10 years following, the team earned 69 percent of their regular-season games and got to the playoffs in each of those seasons except for one. The Mavericks’ playoff record with him is 49 wins and 57 losses, including their first trip to the NBA Finals back in 2006, where they lost to the Miami Heat.
He travels in his private airplane—a Gulfstream V—to attend road games. Back in May 2010, H. Ross Perot, Jr., who retained 5% ownership, filed a lawsuit against him, alleging the franchise was insolvent or in imminent danger of insolvency.
Back in June 2010, he responded in a court filing maintaining Perot is wrongly seeking money to offset some $100 million in losses on the Victory Park real estate development. The lawsuit was later dismissed in 2011 for Cuban asserting proper management of the team due to its recent victory in the 2011 NBA Finals. Back in 2014, the 5th Circuit Court affirmed that decision on appeal. With its initial defeat, Perot attempted to shut out Mavericks fans from the use of the parking lots he controlled near the American Airlines Center.
In January 2018, he announced the Mavericks would be accepting Bitcoin as payment for tickets in the following season
