Mark Cuban slammed by Knicks star Jalen Brunson over comments about his parents

Skip Bayless discusses why Mark Cuban makes it hard for him to root for the Dallas Mavericks.

New York Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson had a score to settle with Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban on Thursday.

During a joint appearance on Brunson's podcast "Roomates Show" with Knicks teammate Josh Hart, Cuban had to answer for comments that he made about the star point guard's parents last year. 

That summer, Brunson opted to leave the Mavericks to signed a four-year, $104 million contract with the Knicks in free agency. When Cuban was confronted about why his team allowed Brunson to leave, Cuban pointed fingers at the guard's parents, Rick and Sandra Brunson.

"Where it went south was when Rick took over, when the parent took over, or parents took over," Cuban told reporters in June 2023. Rick had worked under Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau in the past and just joined the Knicks' staff in 2022.

Brunson on Thursday made it a point to tell Cuban that he did not like those comments at the time. 

"The only thing that I… didn’t like about the whole situation was when Mark said, ‘When the parents got involved, that’s when things got messy," Brunson said. "So that was the one thing that I was like, I kinda was like, ‘Damn, that was a little jab.'"

Cuban then promptly apologized.
