Welcome to the surreal world of the Dallas Mavericks.
Mav owner Mark Cuban chats with the media before most home games. He usually does so while working out in the Mavs’ weight room. Which is connected to the locker room. Which is connected to the Mavs’ basketball offices. Which sit in the south bowels of American Airlines Center.
When the Dallas locker room opens about 90 minutes before every game, Cuban can be found working out, and he doesn’t mind talking to the media while doing so.
