    Nah, it ain't blind. It's well supported by my in depth analysis vs your grade A turd bomb.

    Do you think Les Alexander is the BEST OWNER in the NBA?

    Yes or No.

    Ok. So you and some people don't like it. Doesn't make Les inferior to Cuban. Subjectivity is what the L leans on when times get tough.

    Honestly, I wouldn't know. I'm sure there may be better ones, but Cuban ain't one of them.

    I don't what you are replying to. The picture shows that the Rockets current logo is basically a cheap rip off of a popular PC game at the time.

    Where do you think the Rockets are in jersey sales? most people buy jerseys for fashion reasons.

    Why is Cuban a bad owner? Did you know that Mavericks were the laughing stock of the NBA before he came?

    Also, look at the date on when I made this thread.

    Dude, who gives an eff about jerseys? Who's in the playoffs challenging a talented Spurs squad and in talks of potentially defeating GSW? Rox, that's who.

    Cuban didn't do much. Tell me what YOU think he did to earn a spot above Les that isn't some personal gripe. You can read all my past argumentation. Solid as the rocks I got down here for ya ;)

    I'm not gonna even answer your third Q because I'm gonna try to be the only one whose staying on point here.

    Why don't you go around wearing a giant dildo on your shirt if you don't care about jerseys or logos.

    Oh wait. Les had the Rockets wear a giant Dildo on the logo.

    You're so off point and full of blind love for Les that you might be his grandson.


    Would you even know who the FORMER ROCKETS OWNER was before I told you?

    Do you even know who the FORMER MAVERICKS OWNER was??

    I don't care about anything except today and tomorrow. Leave past in the past. It's done, and you can only move forward. I don't care about jerseys half as much as I care about the players wearing them.

    You should rename yourself Scarecrow cuz you need to be wishing for a brain.

    1. You didn't remember or were old enough to remember the Mavericks before Cuban. They were the laughing stock of the NBA, no fans, bad team.

    2., Cuban bought the team from Ross Perot Jr, the former owner for $285 million in 2000

    3. He changed the culture of the team / company cause that's what CEO/Owners Do

    http://www.star-telegram.com/sports/nba/dallas-mavericks/article5390883.html

    “Mark, when he bought the team, obviously completely changed the culture of the Mavs,” said Nowitzki, who is in his 17th season with the Mavs. “He bought us a new plane, he got us a new arena, we started staying in nice hotels, we started to have food after games and after practices, and he just put Dallas basketball back on the map.

    “The ’90s was a tough time for basketball in Dallas, and Mark came in, he created some excitement back for basketball for the Mavericks, and I owe him a lot. He’s been great to me, he’s been loyal, he’s been supportive of me from Day One.”

    Haha are you mad? Please refer to my valuation analysis arguments with Sweet Lou 4 2. That negates all three of your claims.

    They may be worth more than back then, bbut they did it inefficiently. And Cubes has not drafted or signed a single player that helped them cradle a 'ship.

    So you don't buy Rockets merchandise, I get it.
    When you go to watch the Rockets, you don't wear Rockets gear. I get it.

    People care about the past cause that's what shapes the present and the future.

    Unless you think Les Alexander is an immortal, let me know. I think there will be a new owner in the future.

    They won a championship more recently than we did.
    We haven't won anything since 1995,

    how old were you then? were you alive?

    Past is for evaluation, yes. But it's not for fixation to prove your personal vendetta against someone. Dude, progress yourself.

    You care more about the owner than the players

    If you want I'll buy you a custom t-shirt with Les Alexander's face as the logo. I have money.

    Wear it.

    So? We have one more than they do. They also had a complete meltdown. Also, none of it had to do with Cuban's player personnel choices. Dirk was drafted while the Perot leadership was still in. Next please.

    I told you I have no personal vendetta against Les.

    I benefit from Les. I work for a large corporation.

    It is quite clear that you do as that's been the bulk of your argumentation. And good for you on the large corp thing. Just means you give someone else the lion's share of your economic production. Smart. Work hard so someone else can sit on their fat azz and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
