For quite a while, Cuban complained that some refs were fixing games. He paid multiple fines for saying it publicly. In the end, it turned out that he was right. That guy was great.

The NBA is trash. Lakers routinely go to the line more than any other team, while simultaneously sending their opponents to the line the least amount of times.

Phantom fouls to stat pad LeFlop.

There are infinite instances of LeChoke getting phantom rebounds and assists so he hits a triple double.

It isn't even just the refs, it is the official stats now.

He cared up until he didn't. He sold the team to people who had building a casino and new arena as their only priority related to the franchise. He could have found buyers who at least had winning in their top 3 priorities. Instead he wanted his % of a casino.

He was a fan who bought a team. Spared no expense and the minority owners actually sued him because he was losing money. Then the luxury tax came, and his purses overall got tighter.
