NEW YORK -- Behind closed doors at last week's NBA Board of Governors meeting, a special session was convened to chastise Mark Cuban for behavior unbecoming that escalated to an everyday low during the NBA Finals last June.
Impervious to colossal fines and public spankings by David Stern, the Mavericks owner repeated his habitual criticism of whistle blowers after the Heat had reversed the series balance of power, only this time Cuban also rebuked courtside-standing league officials.
"Mark's antics have worn thin. Big time!" one board member confirmed. "Everyone is tired of his constant attempt to intimidate referees."
