Mark Cuban: NBA Ownership Future

Real Estate as Advantage

Mark Cuban, the outspoken owner of the NBA Dallas Mavericks, recently expressed his belief that real estate will hold a major advantage in the future of NBA ownership.

In a recent interview, Cuban explained that owning the real estate where an NBA team plays gives owners more control over their team's revenue streams and ultimately their success.

Mark Cuban: Biography

Mark Cuban is a well-known and successful entrepreneur, investor, and television personality. Born on July 31, 1958, he has a diversified portfolio including the ownership of the Dallas Mavericks, film production, and investing.

Cuban's journey in NBA ownership began in 2000 when he purchased the financially struggling Mavericks for $285 million. Under his leadership, the team experienced significant improvement both on and off the court, including winning the NBA championship in 2011.

Ownership Shift

While Cuban was once the majority owner of the Mavericks, he sold a 73 percent stake in the franchise to Miriam Adelson in late 2023 for $35 billion. This significant transaction demonstrates the value that Cuban and other NBA owners place on real estate in the context of team ownership.
