Reaction on social media was swift, with some speculating that Cuban might have sold the Mavericks in order to prepare for a presidential campaign.

In fact, following a reported “betting frenzy”, gambling site SportsBetting.ag slashed odds on Cuban becoming president in 2024 from 250/1 to 80/1 in the past 12 hours.

The bookmaker has also created odds on former Mavericks owner Cuban’s potential running mates in the 2024 election, with more than 30 interesting names on the list, including LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey and Tiger ·Woods.

Maybe Mavericks fans would prefer Luka Doncic as VP, but LeBron James is an interesting name with odds of 100/1.

Still, the site doesn’t expect Cuban to run in 2024, putting its chances at 20/1. The odds on him launching a 2024 campaign are… slightly better at 6/1.

If Cuban doesn’t run, what’s next for the serial entrepreneur and former Mavericks owner? Of course, it’s also possible and another “sporting” endeavor tops the list.

Meanwhile, the Mavericks will face the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday.
