The casting agency that was employed by "Dancing With the Stars" must not have done their research. If they had, this video would have disqualified Mark Cuban from casting (see below). Or maybe they saw the video after all, and thought they would cast him as a joke. Kinda like how "American Idol" gets such good ratings when they air the tryouts with the tone-deaf people.

Aside from the fact that his dancing ability is suspect (being kind), isn't there a better reason for him to not be on this show? This is a guy that loves camera time and loves to run his mouth. He seems to crave the spotlight that his players always have. This "stunt" may just alienate his players even more by taking the attention off of them and placing it squarely on his grizzly mug. If you don't recall, last year the Mavs players had to sit Cuban down and scold him like a 4 year-old for his court-side antics. His dancing gig will probably cause more cameras to be focused on him this season, and less cameras focused on Dirk's jump shots.

Of course, this stunt could be a source of some much needed levity in the locker room and let the team relax and play better this year. But the regular season isn't a problem for the Mavericks. Maybe Cuban should see if they can delay the show a few months until playoff time?

And my last comment...will Mark Cuban follow the pattern and lose in the first round? Someone let me know since I won't be watching.
