Mark Cuban cracks Donald Trump joke about Mavs’ season

Mark Cuban

Mark Cuban made a reference to his nemesis Donald Trump while discussing the poor season the Dallas Mavericks are enduring.

The Mavs are likely to finish with their first losing season since Cuban took over as the franchise’s owner. It’s not a matter of pride for Cuban.

When talking about his team’s disappointing fate, Cuban joked that he should get some Russian hackers to distract everyone with “fake news.”

“It’s just is what it is, and there’s not a whole lot I can do. I guess I can go to Russia and ask them to hack the NBA and put out some fake news,” Cuban joked, via the Star-Telegram’s Dwain Price.

“Fake news” of course is a term Trump has used to describe stories he dislikes or disputes. Trump’s campaign aides are alleged to have been in contact with Russian hackers during the election period, which resulted in the smearing of Hillary Clinton via leaks. Trump would call reports of his ties to the Russian hackers “fake news.” Cuban is a Clinton supporter and has a long history of beefing with Trump.
