Mark Cuban: Players and owners should create our own World Cup of Basketball

Mark Cuban has been always hostile to send his players to the National Teams during the summer.

And after Paul George season-ending injury with Team USA, the Mavericks owner reiterated his long-held point.

Cuban, via Marc Stein of ESPN: “The (International Olympic Committee) is playing the NBA. The IOC is an organization that has been rife with corruption, to the point where a member was accused of trying to fix an Olympic event in Salt Lake. The IOC (pulls in) billions of dollars. They make a killing and make Tony Soprano look like a saint.

“The pros in multiple sports are smart enough to not play when they are eligible free agents. But teams take on huge financial risk so that the IOC committee members can line their pockets.

“The greatest trick ever played was the IOC convincing the world that the Olympics were about patriotism and national pride instead of money. The players and owners should get together and create our own World Cup of Basketball.”
