Cuban deeply regretted letting go of Nash that year.
In Qin Yue's previous life, Cuban stated more than once during interviews that letting Nash go was the most foolish decision he had ever made in his life.
"At that time, I blindly trusted the team doctor's assessment of Steve's back injury," Cuban said. "They thought Steve's back injury might prevent him from lasting long, but in fact, we all know that even at 40, Steve was still active on the NBA courts."
Of course...
There is plenty of evidence to prove that Cuban's decision to give up Nash was indeed related to the Mavericks' team doctor's misjudgment of Nash's back injury.
But historically, Cuban, who was obsessed with using NBA LIVE to build the Mavericks' team lineup, also had to bear the blame for his whimsical ideas.
