And although it makes sense as a business move, it also rings true as a decision full of the love you have for the team and the fans — especially having read your post here. It’s not just a company or a sports team, it’s a way for us to project ourselves and give us hope.

Do it.

Are you still doing that?
Thanks, Tina

How much would it cost to be owner of the Mavs for a day? Package a money cant buy experience inclusive corp hospitality etc. How much? auction process – many interested buyers. Extra rev for Mavs and/or charity initiative.

My start up http://www.ownerforaday.com looking for angel funding. With your assistance we could negotiate the exclusive rights for all the professional owners sports in the US.

In Australia rather than a season ticket holder we have the concept of a member for professional sports.So sister site memberforaday.

Do you like Horse Racing. I do. But an expensive “investment” to have a runner in any race let alone a good one. How about owner for a day for the Kentucky derby, Breeders Cup, Japan Cup, Hong Kong Cup, Royal Ascot,Singapore Cup … you get the drift global appeal.

Airbnb got stacks of start up cash. ownerforaday will dominate every market and every vertical of the new peer to peer community. Customer led like premium group buying.

So what do you want to won for a day? A boat, plane, car park, specific hotel room, any money cant buy experience or premium product. Is aspirational!

My ownerfortheday request is :
a one way ticket to Dallas as want to setup global HQ for ownerforday right next to my initial angel investor and special advisor. I will take somebody smart, influential ex ebay/paypal (payt crital) as Chairman to run the hard core business side. I want to concentrate on global domination (I am ex 17 years HK) it is going to rule in China – Yao Ming my angel investment target

Cheers,

Jason Cornell

Unfortunately here in New York, we have the ever greedy James Dolan running the Knicks and my cable company. You are truly a Mensch. The only other organization I have ever seen do the things you do, with such true passion, QUIETLY without looking for a pat on the back was George Steinbrenner’s NY Yankees (my favorite team). As of today, because of you, I am a Mavericks Fan. Many people say you are very much like him, the difference being George, though actually a nice man went out of his way for the public to hate him. You on the other hand, come across so sincere, that one can’t help but like you. You remind me very much of Matt Damon, Justin Timberlake, Derek Jeter and Jimmy Fallon. All compliments by the way. Guys who just plain get it. Guys who give it everything they have. You are in on the joke. You realize how “for the grace of god or some other lucky roll of the dice” special your life and situation is. You proudly pay your taxes. You are the role model. Personally I’ll be a fan of anything you support. Thank you for being a positive influence on my children. Thank you for giving back.

Keith

Sports are more than just about a game. While I cannot claim to have had the kind of impact in my life that some of the other people have, the Mavs have created a bonding experience for me and my friends. It allows us to meet up (sometimes at a bar) enjoy the game, and discuss tons of various topics, some of them even about basketball! It doesn’t hurt that I am a huge Dirk fan (my nickname for him is: (The Determined German) and I enjoy watching him work. 2011 was an amazing year, and I literally teared up a little bit when we won. I have watched Dirk his entire career, and while by no means do I know what he as a person has gone through to get to the point in life that he has, I still feel a somewhat bond with him, and the team, as Im sure many fans do. I was there for the ups, the downs, the bad calls, and the great moments. To have that finally culminate in a championship was, at least from a sports fan perspective, one of the better moments of my life. I know I’m just some guy talking here, but I truly do appreciate what you have done for the people of DFW. You gave us something to root for, to bond over, and most importantly..something to be proud of. thanks Mark

Btw, gotta say this: to the blogger above me looking for investment money…on a blog? seriously? There are so many ways to gain venture capital, and while it doesn’t hurt to try every avenue available, still, I don’t think this would be the place.

I have a great idea for a social media app that I believe will become even more popular than Twitter and Facebook. Please email at speedmon874@aol.com for further details. I’m very serious.

This is an outstanding article by Mark Cuban! It is a dream of mine to own a professional sports franchise someday. Look at the huge impact he has had on people through the Mavericks! Amazing stuff.
