Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban took to Twitter earlier this week to defend his organization’s sideline antics, using a video of the Nets bench from a couple years ago to call out the NBA’s hypocrisy.
A couple years ago, when the Brooklyn Nets were struggling, a video went viral of the team’s bench celebrating in a variety of different ways. The video circulated around the internet heavily, mostly garnering positive responses from fans.
The Mavericks have not been given the same celebratory leigh-way on the sidelines. So far in this NBA postseason, Mark Cuban and company have been fined $175,000 dollars.
The energetic bench consists of Brooklyn Nets alumni Theo Pinson, who was singled out by the NBA during their pre-postseason ‘Points of Education’ video.
Cuban posted the link to the video in hopes of showcasing hypocrisy amongst the NBA’s front office, where even Pinson himself tweeted a response.
