Ross Perot Jr. and Hillwood Investment Properties Ltd. should have seen this coming. Perot Jr., who owns a 5 percent stake in the Dallas Mavericks, filed a lawsuit in 2010 alleging that Mark Cuban was mismanaging the team and that the Mavericks were the “worst franchise” in professional sports.
That statement in and of itself is ludicrous — few owners put as much time and money into their sports franchises as Cuban. But it’s even more ridiculous when you take into account the Mavericks’ recent championship.
On Wednesday, Perot Jr. and Hillwood received Cuban’s glorious response: “Scoreboard. Bitch.”
Well, that’s not exactly the wording Cuban’s lawyer used in the brief filed in the district court of Dallas County. But once you work around the legalize, the meaning is basically the same. We won a championship. That’s the opposite of mismanagement. Have fun staring at this photo of us celebrating as you weep into your bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats.
For the record, I do not know that Ross Perot Jr. eats Frosted Mini Wheats for breakfast. I do know, however, that the lawsuit he filed is about to be tossed out of court faster than you can say “Franklin & Bash.”
Sorry, Perot family. Looks like another loss.
