I MISSED MARK CUBAN BY 45 MINUTES
03.09.09So after the Wizards and Mavericks played at the Verizon Center on Saturday night, Mark Cuban reportedly entertained some ladies at nearby Rocket Bar, just across from the arena. I know the place well–I walked out the door some 45 minutes before Cuban arrived, and had to hear the account from Vince earlier this morning:
[He came in at t]hree thirty in the morning. “Hey, that guy looks kinda like Mark Cuban. …Hold on, gay hair, sad clown eyes, ribbed turtleneck, gold chain… surrounded by a cloud of a group of skanky looking strip club waitresses… no way, that is Mark Cuban.” On my life.[...]I wouldn’t have said anything to him if I hadn’t been wasted probably, but I offered to buy shots and he politely declined.
I would have stuck around if I wasn’t (a) paranoid about missing the train or (b) getting my ass handed to me in table shuffleboard the whole night. And I’m good at shuffleboard. Eh, he probably spent the whole night complaining about YouTube and the officiating of the game, anyway. Below is a thumbnail of Vince’s actual phone pic of Cuban, who’s probably even worse at shuffleboard than I was last night. And I’m not stuck with Dirk No-win-ski. Oooh! Burn, sucka!



hmm…saturday’s wiz/mavs game was in Dallas
Was he drinking their 3 dollar PBR? Please tell me he was. It will make me feel validated.
/drinks Rocket Bar’s 3 dollar happy hour PBR and cries in shame.
@jackpitt…That’s a very good point, but I stand by my source. And by “stand,” I mean, “Sit in a chair about 500 miles away.”
if you smear mark cuban in preparation H he will vanish.
its true.
Are you sure that Cuban wasn’t at Red Rocket Bar?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….
Ah yes…the bar where they play nothing but Def Leppard’s “Rocket”.
/air-drumming with one arm behind back
@WDYA: I’ve heard that on special nights they’ll occasionally play the Herbie Hancock version.
Maybe after the game in Dallas, Cuban was feeling a bit smug about the Mavs win, jumped in his private jet and flew to DC to party at a bar across from the Wizard’s home arena, as some sort of rub-it-in-your-face assertion of dominance? I mean, he is a lunatic, after all. And he could have made it all the way to DC by 3:30, if he left as soon as the game ended.
Vince’s camera phone sucks
i’m confused by where Cuban actually was, but like sex cannon, i’m not going to worry too much about the details, or this story.
Dirk No-win-ski? Just because he’s never won a slalom event doesn’t give you the right to be so mean.
Im wondering if he blacked out like he did at McFadden’s a couple years ago. He was kinda being a dick, then Keifer Sutherland walked in and held court in the back room, he’s a good dude.
