The Kings are not moving to Seattle, LeBron James is buying the team and keeping it in Sacramento.


It's official, LeBron James is going to buy the Sacramento Franchise from the Maloofs and keeping it where it belongs.


I am just pulling your leg, but I do hope that someone from Sacramento is matching the Seattle offer, so their dedicated fan base get their team back and far away from the hands of the incompetent Maloofs. As for Seattle, I hope they get an expansion team so no one loses their team.

Mark Cuban gave live updates on his kidney stone removal on Twitter.

Want to read about a billionaire that owns the Dallas Mavericks passing out his kidney stone? Well, neither do I but it was a lot funnier and grosser than you would think. It is too late to click away now.

The man knows how to use those hash tags. Did he actually wanted to get them trending? One would hope not. Let's all imagine him tweeting on his phone while bent over trying to pass a kidney stone and making that scrunchy "what the hell, ref" face. Oh, Mark Cuban, you are an ass.

Get to know Brooklyn Net's owner, Mikhail Prokhorov.

From GQ
On the surface, Mikhail Prokhorov is a Russian billionaire that happens to own a basketball team and has connections to the gangsters in his home-country, no biggie. Just by that short bio, many would be scared out of their mind to even approach him in the wrong way, but to my surprise he is actually pretty cool, at least from this recent interview with the New York Post.

The following are excerpts from the original article:
Even on vacation, it’s very intense. I do sports of different kinds for up to eight hours a day. My posse usually needs another vacation after a vacation with me.
That's tough, but I am up for it, take me to one of your French $30 million vacation that you have reportedly taken your posse to.
I’m much more like my mother. She was cool as a cucumber, as you say in English. In Russian, we say calm as a boa constrictor!
Way to put a new twist to the in Soviet Russia jokes.
I have said that if the Nets don’t win the NBA championship within five years, I will punish myself by getting married. We are in year three. So no one is more interested in winning a championship than yours truly.
Poor you, having to date and marry models.
Q: Which actor would you want to play you in the movie about your life and why?
A: Chris Rock or Danny DeVito. For obvious physical resemblance.
Oh man, this billionaire got jokes.
Q: People you haven’t met and would like to meet?
A: This person called Honey Boo Boo is at the top of my list at the moment.
Of his hit list! As bad as honey boo boo is, she is still just a little girl, stop your gangster bros before this gets out of hand.
Benjamin Franklin because I feel I know him already. During the wild 90’s, when there was no real banking system, Russia had more $100 bills in circulation than any country in the world!
The most billionaire thing to be said by a billionaire.
Q: Favorite sports movie?
A: All the “Rocky” movies, except the one where he beats up on the Russian, of course.
This man exuberates Russian pride like no other.

There we have it, the most interesting NBA Owner in the world.

Drunk Mark Cuban does the Gangnam Style dance.


Have you ever wondered what a successful billionaire that owns a NBA franchise would dance like while intoxicated. Well, here is what is looks like:

 


Even when he is drunk, that trademarked smug look does not go away. I haven't seem many billionaires dance, matter of fact this is the first one, but I feel like all rich people have a go to dance moves that incorporate variations of throwing money in the air.
