Cuban's just an egomaniac who always wants the spotlight for himself.

On a better note, both undefeated teams, USA and Argentina, go at it tonight on ESPN2 at 12a.m. ET.
This should be a good game, the US team hasn't had a real test in this tourny as of yet.

LAS VEGAS -- One game should be a barnburner. The other should be a blowout.

Final Four in the FIBA Americas Tournament today: Brazil vs. Argentina and USA vs. Puerto Rico.

Brazil/Argentina is going on right now on ESPN 360, and USA/Puerto Rico tonight at 7pm E.T. on ESPN Classic.

Phil Jackson enters the Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend, and to understand how he coached his way there, it might help to familiarize yourself with the concept of "antimatter" -- that is, to realize that the opposite of something is still something, not nothing. That way, it makes sense that some of his best coaching moves come from not coaching, that the best way for players to appreciate him is to not play for him.
