Westbrook Trumps Mark Cuban

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban can focus now on lobbying Donald Trump for the vice-president nomination now that the Thunder have eliminated Cuban's toy NBA team.

After Cuban damned Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook with faint praise, Westbrook responded with 36 points, 9 assists and 12 rebounds to put away the Mavericks.

Westbrook's running mate Kevin Durant summed up Cuban's qualifications to be vice-president, NBA analyst or any other post requiring good judgment.

That leaves Tom Brady as the clear favourite to be Trump's choice for vice president.

And now more proof that as a prospective political candidate, Cuban fits Kevin Durant's description of mighty-in-his-own-mind Mark.

To be fair, Trump won the Cuban-American vote to help him win Florida, but Mark Cuban himself saw the light before the election and switched to  backing Hillary Clinton. Interesting interview with Cuban about politics and basketball:
