Mark Cuban Is At It Again

Mark Cuban the Annoying Actor is at it again....misrepresenting the facts.... and its pretty pathetic. I love it when with one statement you can annoy two rivals. Recently Cuban stated the "Thunder should pull a David Robinson and tank to get a Duncan." There are so many things getting in the way of Mark Cuban making any sense.... like facts.

Fact One, Tim Duncan is not walking through the door in the 2015 draft. Hes a once in a generation player. Read my lips: 5 championships. (besides, Duncan is only the foundation of the Spur' success, not the only reason for it)

Fact Two: Thunder current injuries are not as decimating as the 1996-97 Spurs were; not even close. The Thunder are also more accomplished--three wcf, one finals-- than the Spurs were at the time. Robinson hurt his back in preseason, missed a long while, and played six games and then broke his foot. So, though I don't wish this, if Durant with his broken toe gets hurt again for the season after healing, the analogy might start to apply. IF, of course, Westbrook also gets hurt again and misses half the season, not the 15-21 games RW is projected to miss. Elliot played 39/ 82 due to injury. Oh, and for the die-hard Spurs fans out there, I know you know Chuck Person missed the same entire season to injury. Im struggling to find the modern day equivalent of past success/similar players, but imagine Gasol plays 6 games, Randolph and went down for 43 games the Grizz--and Conley was out for the entire season. thats what it felt like that year as a Spurs fan.

Fact Three: Spurs didnt tank. They were horrible, but they tried to win with a Dom Wilkins that was at the twilight of his career. They were third worst in NBA, not the worst. Like the Magic last year, they werent deliberately trying to lose, the season simply didnt go right and they missed the playoffs; the Mavs in 2013 did the same thing.

Parenthetically, Pulling a David Robinson is a lot more than a Hall of Fame career. It involves class, dignity, service of country, The Dream Team, and millions of dollars donated to start an award winning school for underprivledged students. Already seen as a troll in Houston, whats next Mark Cuban? To try to convince the W'sto tank the next time Curry gets hurt, or accuse NO of trading cp3 just to get the Brow or disrespect Beal street? This is the best conference in the NBA, Mark, just shut up and enjoy it.
