Mark Cuban’s podcast appearance with Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart yielded a revealing moment about what the Mavericks thought of Brunson upon drafting the point guard.
Tim Walz's older brother is '100% opposed to all his ideology,' believes VP hopeful is not 'type of character' who should make decisions about US' futureHart, jokingly, asked the former Mavs owner why the team drafted “the little fat-headed kid from Villanova,” referencing Brunson, and Cuban didn’t quite disagree with that assessment.
“We traded up to get Luka and we get the number 31 ,” Cuban said, recalling the 2018 draft. “And all the scouts were like, ‘JB, JB, JB, JB. He’s a winner, yada, yada. Little bit chubby, not quite as fast, not super athletic, but he’s a winner, he’s a champion. You can’t put a value on that. That’s our guy.”Jalen Brunson laughs as Mark Cuban describes the discussion around drafting a “chubby” version of the Knicks star on the “Roommates Show.
The current Knicks superstar spent the first four years of his career in Dallas before moving to New York.that “Rick took over, or the parents took over.”“The only thing I … didn’t like about the whole situation was when Mark said, ‘When the parents got involved, that’s when things get messy,” Brunson said. “So that was the one thing that I was like, I kind of was like, ‘Damn, that was a little jab.
The Knicks lost a 2025 second-round pick over tampering as a result of that negotiation, but after Brunson emerged as a bona fide superstar, that was more than a fair price to pay.“I apologize, if it put you in a certain way, that wasn’t the intention,” Cuban said. “But it was hard to deal with. It was a unique negotiation in a lot of different ways.“There’s definitely no hard feelings at all.
