I'm actually NOT blaming Cuban. More like the opposite.
When it comes down to it, I don't think there was anything Cuban could've said that would've been what Jordan really WANTED to hear. Jordan wanted to be respected or at least wanted by his Clippers teammates. There's no way Cuban could offer that.
If Cuban made a
mistake it was in misreading what Jordan wanted, misreading what type of player Jordan was prepared to be, and overestimating his own (Cuban's) ability to realize the intersection of those two things.
Cuban's
failure is having to resort to Plan Z instead of having a Plan B.
