So to the sports fans here at the Café.
Lakers lose to Dallas Mavericks the other night. After the game Coach Phil Jackson says the refs are intimidated by Mavs owner, Mark Cuban. Yesterday Cuban posts some serious smack in his blog. Pretty long rebuttal with the main point being that he OWNS Phil Jackson...and says this... "Figuratively however, the coach formerly known as the Zen Master must now be considered my bucket boy..." - Mark Cuban http://www.blogmaverick.com/entry/1234000730073529/ Even king of the clones, Jim Rome, loved it. He said 'I'm not quite sure what bucket boy means, but I like it. He smacked him upside his head." Every sports station and show covered it. that's bad enough, if you're Jackson fan, good if you're Cuban, Mavs fan. But now overnight a site pops up, called bucketboy. http://www.bucketboy.net They already have shirts with some pretty funny pictures of 'bucketboy'. Some that reference the Zen Master with a bucket on his head...LOL Just thought I would share this as it made me laugh. Kevin

He's quite a character huh. Having paid out over a million dollars in fines he's even matched his own fines. Talk about a wild and crazy guy. The matched dollars he's donated to cancer research.
I'll never forget, while living in Dallas, when Cuban criticized the league's director of officials, Ed Rush, saying he wouldn't trust him to manage a Dairy Queen. Well that upset a few and he decided to work for a day at a Dairy Queen somewhere in the Dallas area. He put himself on the payroll and served cones! Traffic was a jam and people lined up to be served by him. Coverage of the story showed him in training and apparently having fun with the matter. He got more press and publicity for himself and the team. I bumped into him at a Starbucks once. I personally don't drink their coffee (overpriced stuff turns me off despite being a coffee drinker) but was buying pastries at the neighboring shop. He stood next to me asking the clerk if they sold coffee. She said they did and was happy to serve him. He turned to a few of us and said "I'd buy one over there, but those Starbuck prices are just ridiculous!". Not that he cares what ya think but does he know how to put his money where his mouth is? I'll let you be the judge. |

Randy...
Ah yes, Manager Tony...LOL What a great way he turned around that negative into a positive. The author Spoelstra, wrote a book call "Marketing Outrageously". Cuban wrote the forward and Spoelstra talked about him often in the book. The guy definately knows what he is doing. At times he sits in the nose bleed section with the fans, gibes out his personal email, he understands how to reach his target audience for sure. Kevin
