The other day, former NBA player Theo Pinson said that Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks is the best player in the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
On Tuesday night, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban put his two cents into the conversation.
Unsurprisingly, he agreed with Pinson, re-tweeting his comments with several “100” emojis.

Cuban isn’t just saying that because he is close to Doncic.
The Slovenian star really has been doing incredible things in the tournament so far.
He has averaged 30 points a game, along with 8 rebounds and 7 assists.
Partly due to this, Team Slovenia is now 3-0 in the World Cup and moving on to the second round.
Things will only get tougher for Doncic and his team moving forward but he seems ready for it.
He has been training for months and is dedicated to doing all he can for his home country.
Cuban is hoping that Doncic does very well and comes back to the NBA ready for a long and pivotal season.
The Mavericks have been struggling lately.
There is a lot of speculation about what could happen if the team doesn’t get it together in 2023-24.
Doncic has remained loyal to his Mavericks for years now.
But will he remain that way if they again fail to make the playoffs?
Cuban has had a close relationship with Doncic since the player was signed to the team years ago.
However, even a nice friendship sometimes isn’t enough when NBA stars grow tired of losing and coming up short.
The upcoming few games are very important for Doncic and Team Slovenia.
And the upcoming season is very important for the Mavericks.
