Cuban: Westbrook not superstar unless OKC wins

DALLAS -- It will take more than a quarter-season of historic production for Mark Cuban to admit that Russell Westbrook has proved him wrong.

Cuban, the outspoken Dallas Mavericks owner who declared during last season's playoffs that Westbrook wasn't a superstar, isn't convinced by the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard being on pace to be the first player to average a triple-double since Oscar Robertson in 1962-63.

"He's putting up superstar numbers. That's for damn sure," Cuban said of Westbrook, who entered Friday night's game again the Houston Rockets averaging 31.
