Mark Cuban after NBA suspended season: We have to be smart
Cuban: I’m a lot more worried about my kids and my mom who is 82 years old than when we play in our next game
Mark Cuban got from vice president of basketball communications Scott Tomlin the news that the NBA season was suspended after Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus.
Per ESPN, “This is crazy. This can’t be true,” the Mavs owner told ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi during an in-game interview, summing up his initial reaction. “I mean, it’s not within the realm of possibility. It seemed more like out of a movie than reality.”
“It’s stunning, but we are where we are,” Cuban said. “We have to be smart in how we respond. This is people’s lives at stakes. This isn’t about basketball, this isn’t about the Mavericks. This isn’t about when do we start, do we start? Or how do we start? This is a pandemic, a global pandemic where people’s lives are at stake. I’m a lot more worried about my kids and my mom who is 82 years old — in talking to her and telling her to stay in the house — than when we play in our next game.”
