This is a good example of the pot calling the kettle black.

“Can you trust Donald Trump? Absolutely not.”

After reading all of the information about Mark Cuban and then watching him when he talked about Trump – Trump is a pussy cat compared to Mark Cuban’s big mouth.  In the end it looks like it is Cuban WHO I would be afraid of.

Cuban called Trump “an immediate and present danger” to the country in an interview with CNNMoney’s  Alison Kosik.

“He has yet to demonstrate that he can keep his mouth shut at the right time,” Cuban said. “That scares the s— out of me.” (Listen to who is talking.)

Cuban has long been a critic of Trump, who he says will cause U.S. financial markets to “tank” if he’s elected.

Mark Cuban: King or King Douche?

By Russell Simon
Jul 31, 2014

If the average NBA fan were to own a team, they’d probably act a lot like Mark Cuban. From his epic rants against officials to ripping Skip Bayless, Cuban seems like he has more in common with the guy in the upper deck with a hot dog and $12 Bud Light than with the rest of the buttoned up NBA owners. But while his mouth may be a big part of his allure, it’s gotten him into trouble as well.

Cuban has paid $1.9 million dollars in fines to the NBA, he recently put himself at the center of scandal when he protested the ouster of Donald Sterling, and he spoke out about his own bigotry in a series of interviews earlier this year.

When he’s not running his mouth, Cuban loves showing off his hands and feet. He’s appeared on Dancing With The Stars and has fought everybody from NBA referees to actual NBA players (see: the infamous Chalupa Incident). He also writes plenty of checks as a billionaire entrepreneur. So given his criticism of officials, power moves, and controversial comments, we ask you: Is Mark Cuban a King or King Douche?

King: The Chalupa Incident

When: 2/17/2001

Somehow there hasn’t been a 30 for 30 about quite possibly the greatest moment in the history of the NBA. Dallas had a huge lead over Cleveland late in a February 2001 game and they purposefully ran up the score to cross the 100-point barrier and give their fans 99-cent Chalupas as part of a genius promotion. Cleveland was pretty pissed that Dallas called a timeout with ten seconds left to set up a final offensive set, so after Gary Trent knocked down a jumper to give the Mavs 100 points, a giant brawl erupted. Cuban dashed onto the court to help his players during the middle of the Taco Bell-fueled riot, and got fined $10,000 dollars. He could have bought 10,101 Chalupas with that cash, but you can’t put a price on making sure your fans go home with coupons for cheap pseudo-Mexican. How can you not love the NBA?

King Douche: Getting a $250,00 Fine for Staring Down David Stern During the 2006 Finals

When: 6/20/2006

Mark Cuban tried his best Tony Soprano impersonation during the 2006 NBA Finals. In what was the officiating low point for the NBA (here’s a ten minute video of the Heat getting every call during that Finals Cuban went crazy after a phantom call on Dirk Nowitzki gave Miami a two-point lead with 1.9 seconds left in Game 5. He stared down David Stern with pure hate in his eyes, and allegedly cursed out Stern and screamed at him “your league is rigged!” He caught a $250,000 fine for that one, but he got his revenge when Dallas beat Miami in the Finals in 2011.

King: “I Wouldn’t Hire Ed Rush to Manage a Dairy Queen.”

When: 1/8/2002

You’ve got to love how Mark Cuban gets so creative with his amazing takedowns of incompetent NBA officials. Ed Rush was the director of officiating at a time when WWE matches had more integrity than NBA games, and Cuban tore into him after a Steve Nash foul with 5.1 seconds left in what was then a tie game gave San Antonio a 105-103 win. Cuban finished his rant by saying “David Stern is not the most powerful man in the game, it’s Ed Rush.” But Cuban discovered the power of Stern when he was fined $500,000 for his comments, enough to buy 100,000 DQ Blizzards. Cuban then spent a day managing a Texas Dairy Queen, where he gave out soft serve for two hours. Ed Rush probably would have spent that time giving technical fouls to anybody who tried to change their order.

King Douche: Flaming Out on Dancing With the Stars

When: 2007

As a billionaire entrepreneur who owns an NBA team, there’s not a lot that Mark Cuban is bad at. Yet he showed the world that his dancing skills are just about exactly what you would expect of a middle aged white guy. During his short stint on Dancing With The Stars Cuban notably tried this terrifying mamba, set to a putrid rendition of Nelly’s Rid Wit Me. Seriously, this band just butchers this song. Once the song mercifully ends the first thing the judge says is “it certainly made me laugh,” so it’s not a surprise Cuban’s stint on this show was short.

King: Wrote a Blog Post Titled “How to Improve NBA Playoff Officiating”

When: 5/10/2006

In one of the costliest blog posts ever written, Cuban received a $100,000 fine for his unbelievably logical dressing-down of NBA officials and David Stern. But this blog wasn’t what you think it would be. It was more college thesis paper and less “THE NBA IS RIGGED AGAINST THE MAVS”-style rant. Cuban dished some piping hot takes including, “Would the officiating improve if the top 12 officials worked the games instead of the top 33 or so? There is absolutely no question about it.” Also: “The NBA has a huge problem. It doesn’t view the playoffs as a place where the very best of the best of officials go to work.” Perhaps David Stern should have listened, as disgraced ref Tim Donaghy was arrested three months after this was written.

King Douche: Suing Don Nelson Because He was Mad the Mavs Lost to the Warriors

When: 6/29/2007

Cuban doesn’t strike anybody as a guy who takes defeat well, but he took being a sore loser to a whole different level after suing then-Warriors coach Don Nelson in 2007. After Golden State shockingly trashed the top-seeded Mavericks in the playoffs, Cuban sued Nelson, a former coach for Dallas. He alleged that Nelson had confidential information about Dallas, and tried to prevent him from coaching against Dallas in the future. It didn’t work (shocker) and Cuban had to pay Nelson $6.3 million as part of a suit over Nelson’s compensation package.
