Read previewI recently learned that Mark Cuban, the billionaire and former owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, bought an entire "ghost town'" called Mustang for about $2 million in 2021. Mustang is about an hour away from the part of Dallas where I live. But until now, I had never come across it — and it appears that almost nobody in my circles had either. Cuban bought Mustang from principal owner Marty Price, a Dallas attorney and devoted Mavericks season ticket holder, according to NBC News, who spoke with Mike Turner, a real-estate agent who brokered the deal.

For years, professional sports organizations like the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball prohibited liquor companies from buying advertising in locations in stadiums and arenas that could be seen on television, in deference to efforts to curb drunken driving. Suddenly, they began signing multimillion-dollar deals with companies that made rum, tequila, vodka and other hard liquor, and the advertising was displayed for all to see. It was a sign of how justifications can change seemingly overnight, especially when money is involved. (The purchase still needs to be approved by the league’s board of governors before becoming official.) “The Adelson and Dumont families are honored to have the opportunity to be stewards of this great franchise,” they said in a statement.

DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic will miss his first game of the season Friday night when he sits against the Memphis Grizzlies for personal reasons. Doncic and fellow guard Dante Exum are both listed as out for personal reasons on the NBA injury report. The 24-year-old Doncic is third in the NBA in scoring at 31.1 points per game, and the four-time All-Star is averaging 8.1 rebounds and 7.9 assists. Doncic and Irving struggled with injuries after Irving was acquired in a blockbuster deal with Brooklyn last February. Doncic has dealt with calf and thumb injuries this season, while Irving has missed three games with a foot issue.

☆ The NBA In-Season Tournament is confusing people. Ratings are still through the roof
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-30 | by ( Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

The NBA In-Season Tournament, running this year for the first time, is the league’s idea for that mid-season boost. The media rights to NBA games are up after the 2024-2025 season, and the tournament could make the NBA’s television rights more lucrative to potential networks and streaming bidders. To add intrigue to the tournament, each of the 30 NBA teams has a distinct court design and jersey for games. The NBA’s strategy behind the colorful court designs was to attract attention — even if some of the reaction to the courts has been negative. The NBA in-season tournament is the latest example of sports leagues adapting to try to add excitment in an increasingly competitive media environment.

Las Vegas Sands and Adelson and Dumont families representative Ron Reese declined Wednesday to comment. Adelson, a physician, rarely gives interviews; in 2021, she told Las Vegas television station KNTV about her work with people fighting addictions. “A good person with good values, though he is totally opposite of us in his political views,” she told the Las Vegas Review-Journal then. The Adelson family owns that newspaper.

AdvertisementBillionaire Mark Cuban is many things — a serial entrepreneur who has dabbled in tech and pharmaceuticals, a reality TV star, and the longtime owner of the Dallas Mavericks. But if recent reports are anything to go by, that could soon be the Mark Cuban of yesterday, as he sheds parts of his portfolio emblematic of his public persona. This may very well be the end of an era for the "Shark Tank"-starring, Mavericks-owning Mark Cuban we've all come to know.

But, it wasn't until he was in his mid-20s that Cuban launched his first actual company, the software startup MicroSolutions. As Cuban told Wired, he asked a high-ranking executive to speak to a group of young employees at a happy hour about "what it's like to work at the bank." "I thought that was a really cool idea and I was taking initiative," Cuban told Wired. "I was a lousy employee because I was a know-it-all," he told Wired.
