Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has apologized to the mother of Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin.

Cuban made a crack after a Mavs loss in Dallas on Saturday in their NBA playoff series. According to Cuban, a fan called the Nuggets “thugs.” Cuban looked at Martin’s mother, Lydia Moore of Dallas, and said, “That includes your son.” Martin’s agent told the Denver Post that Cuban said to Martin’s mother that her son is a “punk.”

In a Tuesday post on Cuban’s blog titled “An Apology to Kenyan Martin’s Mom,” Cuban wrote that he shouldn’t have said anything. He added that this matter has gotten out of hand.

    In my opinion i dont think the apology is sincere,Mark Cuban just wants to save face,he knows this was a career damaging matter that could lead to his true feelings about the matter.Hmm i wonder would he had said the same to Dirk Nowitzki’s mother?

    What apology? It should’ve been done immediately during the post-game press conference. It can’t get any weaker than that. Kenyon, don’t go Ron Artest and just be the bigger man. However, I can understand he’d be pissed especially after someone talked about him and his mom like that. All black men aren’t thugs.

    It is what white people do and say, without any kind of feeling or manners. Yea and I believe Santa going to bring me the winning Megaball numbers, you see when white folks says thing it is a slip of the tongue and when another race makes a comment it’s hateful and racist comment and they are trying to start a fight. What they should do is have him pay all the Nugget player for slander and ban him from all games and I mean all the teams that play, because he is going to do it again trust in that, an A–Hole is still an A –Hole anyway you look at it and color has nothing to do with it.

    Look, Cuban is a big child.  A white child, who probably has no clue as to what talking about someone’s momma really means to a black man (unless you playing the dozens, when sometimes, whe it’s safe, you can be ok with “yo’ momma” stuff–which wasn’t the case here).  Obviously someone has quickly schooled him with regard to what as in his blog.  I would just let it go, the Nuggets have bigger fish to fry, and what better way to shut Cuban up, than to whip his team’s butt?  Cuban’s problem is that he has no impulse control.  He thinks it and starts speaking it, before thinking about consequences.  Sooner or later someone’s going to clea his clock.  I just hope it’s not a player, which would proably kill the players career.  And Cuban ain’t worth it.
