Cuban Accuses Mavs Owner of Freezing Him Out The recent allegations by Mark Cuban that Patrick Dumont, governor of the Dallas Mavericks, has frozen him out of business opportunities in a proposed move to a new arena are more than just a spat between two wealthy businessmen.
They represent a broader issue about the role of owners in professional sports and the power dynamics at play.
Cuban's claim centers on his assertion that Dumont engaged in "adversarial business practices" as part of his bid to move the team 10 miles north of downtown Dallas.
