Cuban’s Journey with the Mavericks
Cuban became the Mavs owner in 2000 and was known for being very involved. Under his leadership, Dallas reached three NBA Finals and won a championship in 2011. However, in December 2023, he sold most of his stake to Miriam Adelson’s family. Despite this sale, Cuban still holds a minority share and manages daily operations as an alternate governor while Patrick Dumont takes on the role of main governor.

A New Direction for the Mavericks
After selling his majority stake, it came out that Cuban had big plans for a new arena and sports betting around the Mavs. Instead of leading these changes himself, he chose to let a more experienced group handle it. This move shows how sometimes stepping back can be a smart choice.
