This fully feels like you saying "I told you so" to those who disagreed with you. That said:
Luka's weight/diet aren't "private" matters...he is a professional athlete whose body/health IS central to why he is even employed (and about to be paid $40M per year).
And the fans in a sense are the "stockholders" and so Cuban is responsible on some level to keep us in the loop on really important matters or we might "sell our stocks" and take our fandom and $$$ elsewhere.
I personally don't an issue with it all....especially now that it is resolved. If Cuban would have been using the media BEFORE resolution to shame Luka and get him to change, that would have been an issue IMO.
I'm not disappointed at MC not dodging the question, I'm disappointed at the words MC used. Those words put it all in a negative light, as the one replying poster alluded to when he said "And this ladies and gentlemen, is how you lose a superstar in free agency". Words like "humbled" (the dude is about as humble as Dirk!), and "finally clicked" (Finally? Maybe Luka should apologize to MC for not being "humble" enough to realize what he needed to do with nutrition on Cuban's timeline, not his own) then there is Brad using MC's words to say not being an Allstar starter. All negative connotations.
If it's a CELEBRATION, use words to celebrate it, not words to demonize it!
