MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[ItsGoTime]

Again, it didn't offend ME because the Mavs aren't my baby.

But I stand by my observation that taking shots at potential investors you don't know personally is not a smart presentation method when trying to get them to invest. Your idea that "now they know" is certainly true, but to me that was NEVER the place you should want to be playing trial-and-error on what might be offensive to your audience. How can you win at that game?

And fwiw, as to the norms on the show ...
1 yes I have certainly seen sharks (and including Mark) joke around.
2 but I haven't seen ANY shark fail to bristle when one of their companies is bashed
3 nor have I ever seen a candidate call Mark and his Mavs losers, ever, in any way
4 I have also seen other sharks who at times have felt disrespected (like Mark felt he was here) and they also said (like Mark did) "Screw you, I'm out." 

Seems to me the normal motif is to soothe and suck up to the obvious hot buttons.

#3 That’s the problem with your thinking, they didn’t call the Mavs losers, they called the Warriors winners and apologized to Mark. 


I stand by what I said, douchery? Nah. If Cuban can’t take a joke from a couple guys that seem to want to joke around, they don’t want him to be an investor. Bit of a gamble? Sure, potentially eliminating 1 out of 5 people who can turn your company (who is already making decent money) up. In the end, they got an investor, so the gamble worked and now they don’t have to work with the douche who can’t take a sports joke.

The Warriors are just a better team, if Mark can’t come to grips with that fact, he’s the delusional douche.
