One of the most outspoken owners in the NBA, Mark Cuban, is now featured on his own sock. The weird thing is the socks show Cuban peeing at a urinal holding the 2011 NBA Championship trophy. Not necessarily the best PR move if you ask me.

The picture stitched onto the socks is a representation of the photo that surfaced after the Mavericks won the 2011 NBA Championship, stealing away the series from LeBron James and the Miami Heat. The owner is holding the Larry O’Brien trophy quite lazily as he takes a pee. I guess when you got to go you got to go.
He didn’t even want to lay that trophy down. I guess I wouldn’t either. After waiting 11 years to win a championship with his beloved Mavericks, he finally got one. So he wasn’t really willing to let that trophy get out of sight for a second. Even if that means holding it in your right arm while you take a piss.
I just wonder if Cuban knew the iconic photo of him at the bathroom would have gone viral. The amount of popularity you must have in order to make going to the bathroom viral must be immensely annoying. But Cuban kind of owns that persona. His popularity among the media is unprecedented among NBA owners. Only Cuban would have the kind of arrogance to make a buck or two off of this picture. And only Cuban has the business mind to make it successful. After seeing them on the internet I have to admit I kind of want a pair.
