What is Life without the Mavs? | Mark Cuban
Mike Rhyner and Grubes welcome Mavericks legend and Shark Tank titan Mark Cuban to Your Dark Companion for a candid conversation that swings from the heartbreak of Luka’s exit to the grind of fixing America’s broken healthcare system.
Cuban opens up about selling the Mavericks, the fine print that surprised him, and the not-so-subtle joys of yelling at refs without any actual power. He talks about Luka Doncic, Dirk’s legacy, and how chemistry in an NBA locker room can be just as fragile as a startup pitch on Shark Tank. From his Cost Plus Drugs revolution to playoff scars that never quite heal, Cuban delivers the unfiltered truth you don’t hear on CNBC.
It’s part basketball therapy, part business masterclass, and part “what the hell just happened?” — all in the way only Mark Cuban can bring it.
