Mark Cuban Cites Inexperience In Real Estate As Reason For Dallas Mavericks Stake Sale: 'I'm Not Good At It'
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
Mark Cuban sold his majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks to entities associated with Sheldon Adelson's family due to his inexperience in real estate, which he sees as vital for NBA teams' future success. The NBA approved the $3.5 billion deal, allowing Cuban to retain a smaller share and control of the team. Cuban acknowledged the new majority owners' real estate expertise as beneficial for the franchise. The sale follows the NBA Board of Governors' initiation of the sale process in December, with potential buyers including the Adelson family and Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE:LVS).
