Mark Cuban bought a basketball team. He was never a coach. He made his fortune, or the bulk of it anyway, by bailing at the right moment during the original dot com bubble. He founded Broadcast.com, one of the first online streaming businesses, and then sold it to Yahoo for a shitload of Yahoo stock, when Yahoo was at its zenith. And then he cashed out right before the bubble burst, converting his paper billions to actual billions.

He tends to be less of an asshole than other billionaires like Musk, but he’s still a billionaire.

Could be. Phil Jackson was very into Zen Buddhism.

Somehow these people claim to love all sorts of fiction but always attach themselves to the antagonists – Sauron, the Galactic Empire, Thanos, even Goliath. If I were being very charitable I guess they could be trying to be like Tarquin in Order of the Stick (the speech is here but has lots of spoilers). More likely I think they are too stupid to appreciate that they only seemed unbeatable and forget everything except those vibes.

I think they just get the impression of something other people like, but have no actual details on the topic.

“White people are the best, but also for some reason I don’t like anything from their centuries of musical traditions and was wondering if they had any rip offs of these cool black people instead” :upside_down_face:

The sad thing is, though, that it probably actually does.
