Is This The Most Gracious Winning NBA Owner Of All Time?


From ESPN:

MIAMI -- Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said championship parades and title rings just aren't his style, but the 2010-11 NBA champions will be riding floats through the streets of Dallas very soon.
And Cuban said he's picking up the tab.
"We'll do it," Cuban said early Monday morning. "All I told them was -- Terdema Ussery, our president -- you plan the parade. I'll pay for it because I don't think it's right for the city to have to pay for it. And let's just have some fun."
Any talk of a parade prior to the Mavs' 105-95 Game 6 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday night was considered taboo.
Five years ago, after Dallas took a 2-0 lead in the Finals over the Heat and were bound for South Beach, parade plans were revealed and it became the first embarrassing mishap in an epic meltdown that has finally come to an end.
City officials still haven't set a date.
One area where Cuban hinted he might break with tradition is presenting championship rings to his players.
"I might not get rings," the Mavs' billionaire owner told NBATV. "Rings are old school. You've seen it before: There's guys who pick up the sweats and towels and they have these big, blingy rings. I'm like, 'Rings are done. It's time to take it to the next level.'"
What does he have up his sleeve? Cuban refused to reveal what he was thinking.

First he lets Don Carter accept the Larry then he takes the tab for the victory parade? Unreal. Don't know how I feel about him changing things up and possibly not getting his players, coaches, towel boys, etc. rings however. Imagine if you heard this shit after a whole year or possibly even years of being towel bitch. So I did all this shit and now that we finally are going to get a giant ass shiny ring, you're telling me "rings are done?" How's little towel boy going to get his dick wet now? Probably the same way he did before winning an NBA championship. Which coincidentally ends with a towel. On the other hand he's wanting to take it to the next level, so I will reserve my real judgment until he reveals what that is.
