DALLAS >> The verbal jabs have become an enjoyable hobby for Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who often delighted in tweaking former Lakers coach Phil Jackson and even Kobe Bryant. Cuban, who rarely shies away from offering his opinion, set his eyes on a new purple-and-gold target.
Cuban acknowledged being happy Lakers president Jeanie Buss thwarted an effort from her brothers, Jim and Johnny, in voting her off the team’s board of directors and subsequently stripping away her power as the team’s acting governor.
“The worse it is, the better for me,” Cuban said before the Lakers-Mavericks game on Tuesday at American Airlines Center.
