The Dallas Mavericks are definitely the dark horses of this year’s NBA championship run. Led by Luka Doncic, the Mavs knocked out the Phoenix Suns and the Utah Jazz and are currently in the Western Conference Finals. While the players deserve most of the credit, Billionaire owner Mark Cuban deserves a lot of credit as well.
His passion for the team and great business decisions have led the Mavs to where they are currently. Interestingly enough, he is not afraid to put up his thoughts on social media.
