Want to know why Mark Cuban is a billionaire, and you're not?

You probably thought the Mavs got their championship rings back on Christmas day, when they opened the season against the Heat. Well, it turns out they didn't. They hoisted the banner, but no rings were handed out.

Instead, the Mavs have announced that the Championship Ring Ceremony will be held this Wednesday, before the Mavs host the Timberwolves. It's a middle of the week game against a boring opponent, but Cuban just made sure it'll be a sellout and probably draw some good TV ratings as well.

And of course JJ Barea will be in town with the TWolves, so he can get his ring and get some love from the fans.

Update:

I didn't say there was anything wrong with what Cubes is doing. It's actually a very smart idea. My question was meant to be admiring, not accusing.

    This isn't a question but rather a rant.

    Why is he a billionaire, and we're not? It's because he's been successful in his business endeavors, and he's greedy as hell, as are most businessmen.

    The Mavs sell out anyways, without any ring ceremonies, and as far as TV ratings go, no one cares about watching that celebration on television.

    Cuban is a billionaire because he is a smart guy who entered the tech industry at the perfect time, then sold out of the tech industry at the perfect time.
