I've always thought that he was an extremely intelligent dude with ADD. He's just goofy as hell though which I think turns some off on him. Personally, I don't think he's an embarrasment as Murph and madape do, but I've been embarrased by some of his actions. He's on of the best things that ever happened to the mavs though. His infusion of cash at the lowest of low times was just what we needed with the core of the team already into place. His many moves in the early days(rodman, 2001 draft, going after joe smith), although not always sucessful, got the city interested in the "little mavs" and helped make the team relevant. Then of course Dirk developed...
Also, he was cool to me when I shook his hand and said "what's up" at the old post-game bar at Reunion Arena one time the year he bought the team, so he's all good in my book.
