Mavs' Cuban addresses ESPN credential decision

LOS ANGELES -- Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban reiterated his stance that he will keep two ESPN reporters away from his team's home games, saying it's his choice to credential them, not the NBA's.

"My call," he said Tuesday from Staples Center when asked about who controls media access at his team's games in Dallas. Asked if the league could intervene, he added: "They could probably try, but I don't know why they would."

Cuban banned the ESPN reporters from entering games with media credentials last Friday and Sunday, saying he was unhappy the network would not have a reporter cover the team full time.
