And that doesn't make me a Mavs fan? Did Cuban hire you to determine the definition of what Mavs fan should or should not be? Should or should not think? Let me know.

I'm not gonna sit here and say outright that you're not at Mavs fan. I'm sure you've been rooting for the team a long time.

That said, if you'd put something as petty as "I don't like this guy" over the success of the team at large, I'm not really sure what your priorities are in all this stuff. In the case of Wade or LeBron (versus maybe some of the other guys mentioned here), we're not talking about a player who might make the team arguably better but may not be worth the trouble. We're talking about two guys who are the very best in the league and don't do much wrong other than having certain personality flaws.

Sometimes I think having Dirk has really spoiled some people. Most top athletes aren't so perfectly likable. You're lucky to get one like him ever.

Don't be ridiculous. You don't need to be on Cuban's payroll to question an untenable "fandom" stance.

I mean come on.. There has to be a limit here. What if the dude was a pedophile. I don't think divas a pedophile, but if the Mavs hired him. I would feel all bad luck that befell them was deserved.
