Mark Cuban, known for his diverse interests beyond basketball, may have been too distracted to help his Dallas Mavericks during the critical moments of the NBA Finals. While the Mavericks were overwhelmed in five games by the Boston Celtics, Cuban seemed more focused on political debates rather than guiding his team. Just before a decisive Celtics victory, Cuban engaged in a public spat on social media, critiquing Piers Morgan and Bill Ackman for discussing President Joe Biden’s perceived cognitive issues.

In his response, Cuban pointed out that both major presidential candidates were advanced in age and prone to gaffes, suggesting that this is an inevitable aspect of older political figures. Notice how he sounds like he takes his taking points from the DNC? He emphasized that while one candidate is adept at creating memorable soundbites, the other communicates in more coherent, complete sentences. Cuban implied that voters would ultimately choose the style they preferred, though his analogy didn’t quite resonate as deeply as intended. This man has to be losing it or just is an agent of sorts for Biden. For anyone to say that Biden makes good points, that either means he doesn’t pay attention, or he either believes this nonsense or has to say it all. In this day and age of the Deep State, you never know which is the reason for his ‘opinion’.
Furthermore, Cuban’s comments stirred significant backlash. Australian commentator Rita Panahi and conservative influencer Allie Beth Stuckey criticized his points, highlighting a disconnect between his statements and reality. This online controversy underscored the broader debate about the suitability of older politicians leading the country, a conversation that Cuban inadvertently amplified with his remarks.

Additionally, Cuban’s role with the Mavericks has come into question. After selling the majority stake of the Mavericks to new ownership, his influence over basketball operations has reportedly diminished. This shift might explain his increased presence in political discussions and other non-sports-related topics on social media.
