Cuban Plays Fools’ Gag
From Associated Press
DALLAS —
Dallas Maverick owner Mark Cuban pulled an April Fools’ gag during a timeout in the second quarter of Tuesday night’s game against the New Orleans Hornets, getting into a shoving match with a phony game official.
Cuban, heavily fined last season for his complaints about officiating, went onto the court during the stoppage in play and began arguing with a man dressed as a game official.
Cuban began shoving the man and was restrained by one of the team’s equipment managers before it became apparent that the incident had been staged.
