Mark Cuban on Mikhail Prokhorov: 'Who?'

Filed under: ,

Mark Cuban's reputation as outspoken and brazen is well-known. Before his Mavericks played the Nets Thursday night, he turned his crosshairs on new Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov.

"He's a p***y," Cuban said when asked about Prokhorov, smiling. "(Prokhorov) doesn't come to games. Who the hell knows?"

Cuban continued to launch into Prokhorov before the Mavericks dismantled the Nets, 102-89, in Nets coach Avery Johnson's return to Dallas after coaching the Mavericks from 2004-08.

"When (Johnson) was with us, the expectation was to win a championship. I don't think that's the situation right now with the Nets. I think he recognizes that his job is progress more than rings right now. But you never know. If Prokhorov does what I did to try to make deals and get something before the trade deadline then that all changes. But, you know, building a true professional team means having to spend money. We just haven't seen it."
