Mark Cuban’s entrance to NBA All-Star Celebrity Game is something else (Video)
By John Buhler
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is playing in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game this season. His entrance to the court will be the highlight of this game.
It’s not unusual to see owners of professional sports franchises think that they have skills in their respective sport. What is unusual is everything about Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban playing in the 2017 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
Cuban’s entrance to the Smoothie King Center hardwood on Friday night was anything, but smooth. Decked out in a gold No. 46 jersey to poke fun at President Donald Trump, Cuban hopped and skipped like a lad an eighth of his age in the introductions.
At first glance, a television viewer might think “Where did it go wrong for former Utah Jazz point guard John Stockton?” Only after he gets closer to the camera does a pudgy un-athletic Stockton become the billionaire owner of the Mavericks and the popular talking head on Shark Tank.
Cuban’s No. 46 jersey trolls Trump, as he semi-seriously plans to run against Trump in the 2020 Presidential Election. No. 46 signifies that the Dallas tech billionaire will be the 46th President of the United States of America.
The amount of athleticism shown on the New Orleans red carpet leading up to half court of the Smoothie King Center offers no signs that Cuban will end up being the MVP of the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.

Unless Cuban is able to rain three-pointers like he is the Larry Bird of tech billionaires, that entrance to the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game will be the best highlight of what should be a terrible basketball for no one’s enjoyment. Then again, Cuban owns a professional basketball franchise. You don’t. So he gets to do whatever he wants, including prancing around on the court of a Southwest Division rival.
