Mark Cuban owns lots of stuff, but not a boat
The Miami Herald has a brief about the conspicuous consumption of NBA owners (no scoop there):Team owners Micky Arison (Heat) and Mark Cuban (Mavs) didn't arrive by limo, helicopter or Range Rover. The millionaires both came by boat and docked on opposite sides of the arena. Cuban's Utopia II is nice enough -- if a bit modest, at 60 feet. Arison's Sirona III is a Shaq-sized monster, well more than 100 feet long.
Also, this, from a local Miami TV station:
Cuban docked his yacht next to the American Airlines Arena and posted a large "Go Mavs" banner on the yacht.... NBC 6 cameras saw Cuban's yacht, Utopia II, pulling away from the AAA on Wednesday.
Finally, a note of sanity; the Palm Beach Post gets it right:
But Cuban doesn't own the blue and white yacht docked outside the arena, nor any other boat. "I wish I did," he said, laughing. "I would have my lawyers there."
It was suggested that perhaps Arriola confused Cuban with Heat owner Micky Arison of Carnival Cruise Line fame.
"Micky has got a couple of them," Cuban said. "I don't even own a rowboat."
Which meant Cuban had to take a less exciting form of transportation to AmericanAirlines Arena: "The way I come to every game — just on the team bus.
And, finally, the retraction from the Herald:The Utopia II is not Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's boat. An item in a celebrities column on Page 5NB in Wednesday's NBA Finals Special Section was incorrect.
