Mark Cuban and PostmanR, together at last

April 5th, 2007 | Posted by PostmanR

Mark Cuban is altogether one amiable fellow. Really, he is.

I will never know what it’s like to be coddled, prodded and poked by inebriated college students for hours on end - but the Great Cubino took it all in stride last night at Spaauts. MC posed for a TON of pictures, was smiling all night and didn’t seem to mind all the idiots surrounding him.

He was in town for an appearance on CNBC’s “Mad Money,” which was taped live and direct from Assembly Hall yesterday. (Booyah Jim!)

Our encounter was rather brief. I really, I mean REALLY, did not want to invade on him, but after being dragged over there by my girlfriend, I had no choice. Instead of engaging him in the standard chitchat about Dirk or if he’s going to buy the Cubs - I decided to be clever and ask Cuban how WINVAL is working out for him season. All I got was a smile, a bit of a wink and a head nod. Damn right it’s working, the Mavs are killing it this year.

After that, he turned away to the droves of people behind him, and presumably kept it fantastic for the rest of the night.

To recap: Mark Cuban is an exceptionally patient and nice individual if you happen upon him at a drinking hole. Last night, we were pretty much equal, enjoying an April night in a town we love (no matter how goddamned cold it was) and even wearing long-sleeve tees under our polos! But where we differ? I’m pretty sure his socks were made of hundred dollar bills and everywhere he walked a trail of twenties fell to the ground. Dude is LOADED.

Edit: As With Leather so aptly points out, that picture is WAY too huge. Sorry if it hurts your eyes. I thought about resizing after I put it up, but I’m way too lazy.
