Hey, Mr. Cuban.

Why do basketball players only get recognition after they’ve been a part of a championship team? For instance, Dirk has been an amazing player for 10 years now, but only got the respect he truly deserved from fans after having a championship caliber supporting cast (Including coaches) around him. If it’s a team game, why do players only get appreciated after they accomplish something that’s mostly out of their control (Since, most of the time, they don’t decide who they get to play with)?

Agreed so hard. People saw Dirk turn into a scoring phenom in that championship run, but forget that he played a vital role in the defense that toppled the Lakers, Thunder and Heat.

Anyway, thanks for answering the question, and I hope the Mavs have a great season!
