Mark Cuban Files The Ultimate "Fuck You" Legal Brief
"Scoreboard," the defendant said.
When Ross Perot Jr. sold the team to Mark Cuban a decade ago, he kept 5 percent of the team. Two years ago he filed a number of lawsuits, accusing Cuban of mismanaging the team, even doing illegal things with the money. (Ironically, one of the complaints was that Cuban was putting too much cash back into the team, instead of giving it to Perot and other partners.)
