Stern - Game, Set, Match

In a recent press conference, NBA Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, has apparently thrown up the white flag to commissioner David Stern. Cuban is now willing to just sit back and be an owner, and not the league’s biggest critic and wannabe NBA innovator. Cuban stated, "I used to spend a lot of time trying to really learn the details and the numbers, doing a lot of research, because I was cynical and skeptical. I've lost all that cynicism and skepticism. It's all gone. Sarcasm? There's no sarcasm."

Should Cuban’s statements be taken at face value? Only if you believe that Latrell Sprewell was giving his coach a neck massage and Jayson Williams' limo driver was like that when he got there.
