Mark Cuban on Kobe
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is being taken to the nation's woodshed over the remark he made to Pat O'Brien that the Kobe Bryant case was "good for the NBA from a business standpoint". He later told NBC that it's unfortunate but notoriety is good for media exposure, and "that's the bottom line reality".
I suppose it was crass of him to say it, but in my opinion he's right. NBA prospects are being advised not to get their degrees because it would hurt their 'street cred'. Who's sicker, Cuban for stating the truth, or the society that makes it true?
