For starters, someone who wants to be in Dallas.

Cuban's reaction to that comment

Yeah wasn't intending for vander and the other guys to get bashed.


Just thought it was cool we had 4 guys enter free agency and all 4 got paid very handsomely for their contributions.

I know this is an attempt at a joke, but look at it this way.

Vander is on the Bulls Summer League team in Vegas, and that league starts today.

Vander has NBA experience under his belt.

Vander is only 22 years old, the same age that many graduating Seniors are.

He has a lot of run-room left in him.

wow, you guys are edgy  i like the guy, i think he has talent and wish him nothing but the best.  i believe with the right team/fit, he could end up doing alright.  nothing but good things putting another MU guy in the show

You mock the guy and then call us names. Okay bub.

I think that is a lot of it.  I've heard some very positive stories from people who have had interactions with him, including stuff as small as someone running into him on vacation at Cuban coming over to fist bump him cause he is an IU alum and had a shirt on.  He seems like a pretty stand up due.

He has WAY more self-awareness than a lot of people in his wealth/success bracket.  What he did for the Mavs was nothing short of impressive, so him being a boisterous loudmouth when it comes to that isn't too big of deal to me.

Yup.  While I'm sure it wasn't him personally replying to the email and rather someone else doing it for him, a friend of mine sent him an email for a class project (something along the lines of asking him what it takes to be a good leader) and he got a personal response within 10 minutes.  Even though it was probably some intern, it still says a lot that Cuban makes sure to get a response out to someone who obviously wasn't going to be able to do anything for him.

I used to dislike Cuban a lot just based on what I saw of Mavericks games.  I've started to like him a lot more the more I've learned about/seen him.
