Mark Cuban has beef with Dwyane Wade

We’ve sat back for a long time and acted all confused about the use of the term “beef” in rap music.
However, we’re finally ready to admit that we completely understand. We get it. You’re not talking about dead cow muscles used for food - you’re talking about a grudge over a specific issue. (As opposed to like, a family fued that was around before your birth.)
For example, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, as of this morning, officially has beef with Heat guard Dwyane Wade - all over comments made by the player regarding DAL star Dirk Nowitzki’s leadership abilities.
One part of Mark we love is he jumps right in and goes at his beef without pause or worry. From his blog:
I know Shaq appreciates your leadership as well. He called out your team a few weeks ago saying it was “embarassing’. Great leadership DWade. Your coach sat players for being fat. I guess you couldnt lead them away from the buffet.
You are an amazing player Dwayne. I love watching you shoot free throws.
Hah - he says this right after noting some “amazing things” about Dwyane’s play in the Finals last year.
Strong, strong attack stance. Now, Dwyane is on ESPN tonight against our the Cavaliers, so we’ll be watching closely for the reply, and also to see the free throw shooting exhibition.
For some reason we think we’ll be listening to a bunch of generica about “that’s just Mark being Mark”, but not “I can’t help it if the refs call 437 fouls per game in my favor.”
Either way, it means we’re watching the game. The ESPN game, not the Cleveland game. Make no mistake - we’re still bitter and disillusioned.
It’s sad that the Heat wont be in the Finals this year. Sad because it would be even sweeter if the Mavs would pound the crap outta Wade and also the fact that he most def wouldn’t get the same calls as last year.
wheres my love for the link… you are dead to me cav…
***WHISTLE!!!*** - DWade steps off the bus arriving at the Q and the Cavs are already called for a foul.
Dwyane, D-W-Y-A-N-E, doo-wee-yeyn wyeyd!
Oh come on, Cav.
It’s on National TV.
Just watch it.
I thought I said I was?
You really need a hobby (job?) if you spend your time reading a Mark Cuban blog. I’m thinking contracting AIDS would be more entertaining. Free James White.
“It’s sad that the Heat wont be in the Finals this year.”
^What else do you see in that big shiny magic ball of yours, Nastraudumass?
It’s a shame I’ve gotta hear this lovefest between Mike Breen and Hubie Brown tonight… they’ve spent most of the night gushing over LeTravel and DWYane Wade… ridiculous… don’t they know the Pistons have won 2398092 NBA Championships?
hey cavalier, i think the refs mite give u flagrant foul and a technical, and about a million free throws to dwade for yur picture of him. just letting u know, watch out for yourself, u never know how the GREAT MAGICIAN DWADE will get a free throw from thin air.
That you did.
I didn’t read all the way to the end.

You munching on my meat-stick.

See the title of O’Brien’s article.
It is UNDENIABLE that Wade is one of the greatest stars who have ever lived. IT IS ALSO UNDENIABLE that the greats geat phantom calls; which none of them the players have control of. Wade is one of the most classy athletes sports has seen in a long time. He makes mistakes and Mark Cuban has made many in his life too. I don’t blame him for standing up for his players and its respectable.
But understand whether Wade said it out of Frustration or not, he is still a huge fan of Dirk.
Mark Cuban is an idiot. Stupid little nerd thinks he’s hot sh*t because he bought an NBA team. Still a silly little nerd with no social skills.
“Mark Cuban is an idiot. Stupid little nerd thinks he’s hot sh*t because he bought an NBA team. Still a silly little nerd with no social skills.” —> Does anyone agree with this fool? Haha! you dont know sh*t about Mark Cuban man. You stupid f**k. Yes he’s hot sh*t and everyone in the NBA knows him. How about you? Does anyone in your school even know you? Or worse, does your classmates know you exist? Watch what you say you stupid f**k
I absolutely agree that Mark Cuban is a stupid git who has wayyyy too high of an opinion of himself, if the Mavs had a different owner, I would like them a lot more. It’s no wonder that with such a classless owner, Dallas fans are among the most classless of all NBA teams’ fans, as demonstrated by that idiot that posted before me.
Now what about the Mavs? I think they got they’re first round rest in classic fashion. That was gorgeous to see them schooled, out-classed and put on some GS posters. Let us just all agree that Dirk, like an enormous child, goes limp when faced with opposition (and grow an inside game for chrissakes!). And DWade is not the wave of the future (unless the furture includes robotic refs that are programmed to respond to the amount of dollars flowing into the Wade camp in relation to the amount of fouls that are called in his favor). Jezuzz, is it truly all so far fetched? Oh, and Tim Duncan has by far the most effective leadership skills in the game, and he gets hacked constantly, not to mention doubled and tripled. With no concern to personal ego he’ll kick it out and make someone else’s game better. The best players don’t just play they dictate the complete flow.
Oh please with all the Tim Duncan circle jerk going on here…
I’d put him a VERY close 2nd behind Rasheed Wallace as the biggest whiny bitch in the league.
Marc Cuban is so stupid . he doesnt know what he is talking about. dwyane wade is the best player in the nba and we all know it. Mark Cuban is just mad because we beat them in the nba finals. D-WADE IS THE BEST: DONT HATE
