Mark Cuban Buys The Olympics

Quite a few years ago, after he had sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo! for billions of dollars but before he leapt to international prominence as owner and impresario of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, I had some brief business dealings with Mark Cuban.

I only spoke with Mark a couple of times. He wasn’t my contact; Mr. Cuban had a history with my then-business partner Ken Rutkowski, and we did a short dance exploring a business venture with him that never went anywhere.

NBA Basketball and The Corruption of Journalism

I’ve written about business change in baseball. I’ve written about business change in football, a few times; The NFL controls what their players say, football can teach us a thing or two about patents, and of course, Bill Maher tells us why the NFL is a pretty darned good example of socialism.

But I’ve never written about basketball and business change. Until now. And the subject, while pointed at the so-far-there-is-no-NBA-season-because-the-millionaire-players-and-billionaire-owners-are-greedy situation, is actually a story about trust and journalism.
