Mark Cuban sometimes speaks before he thinks. I think Monta Ellis is a very good player, but he shouldn’t spoken in the same breath as Allen Iverson.
The Mavs needed double OT to beat the Bulls and then Cuban had this to say about Ellis who scored 38 points on 35 shots.
“People talk about the efficiency and this and that,” Mavs owner Mark Cuban said. “But in a game like this, you need shots and open looks and scores at the right time. When it counts, baby, when it counts. When it counts!
“S—, they gave Allen Iverson an MVP for being half as efficient as Monta is.”
If only Allen Iverson had the pleasure of playing with Dirk during his career, I am sure that would have helped his efficient a bit, but I digress.
It is good though for an owner to have his player’s back, but don’t disrespect A.I. like that.
