I'm reminded of a story an IT executive years ago about what happened when anyone came to certain Microsoft high level marketing and executive meetings to try offer their wares or to work with Microsoft in any respect.
If they came in with an iPad or even an iPhone, the chances of them getting the deal was zero to none.
He said MS would generally not even explain why the suitors were quickly dismissed.
Of course the corporate relationships have broadened since those days and MS works hand in hand with Apple on several fronts but Mark Cuban's remark about "reading the room" is relevant advice usually kept in the back rooms.
Maybe they did read the room. As basketball fans, they probably know the shitshow that Cuban is overseeing. Therefore they decide to entertain the others at the expense of Cuban. It worked. Everybody else was having a blast.
