Mark Cuban has never been one to hold his tongue. But even by his standards, this is remarkable.

The former Dallas Mavericks majority owner went on Intersections The Podcast and made his feelings crystal clear about the Adelson family, who purchased the team from him in 2024. His words? "I do not regret selling. I regret who I sold to."

Let that sink in for a moment. This isn't Cuban being diplomatically disappointed. This isn't reading between the lines. This is a man who built a championship culture in Dallas openly saying he made a mistake in who he chose to hand the keys to.

According to the Sporting News, Cuban admitted, "I made a lot of mistakes in the process, and I'll leave it at that." But leaving it at that isn't really Mark Cuban's style, is it?

Here's the context: Cuban sold his controlling stake to the Adelson family - yes, that Adelson family, the casino magnates - believing they would continue the winning tradition he'd spent two decades building. Instead, the Mavs are struggling. The culture has shifted. And Cooper Flagg, the franchise cornerstone, is playing for an organization that feels rudderless.

When Cuban owned the Mavs, he was involved. He sat courtside every game. He fought with refs. He connected with fans. Love him or hate him, the man cared. The Adelsons? They're rarely seen at games. The team feels corporate, distant, like just another asset in a vast portfolio.
