Cuban wants Jim Gray suspended

http://www.blogmaverick.com/entry/1234000340034879/

ABC should suspend Jim Gray until he apologizes

I didn't catch this while it was happening, but thanks to Adam W for
emailing me and bringing it to my attention. I know I said chemistry was
better this year, but made zero mention of Steve Nash in my comments
regarding chemistry.

I will just go with Adam's Email to say it all

During yesterday's game vs. Houston (no commment) Jim Gray said something
very interesting. the summary of it was something to the affect of

JG: Dirk, I asked Mark [Cuban] and Finley if team chemistry was better
without Nash, would you agree:

DN: No I don't think so (with a puzzled look on his face)

Now if I recall when Jim Gray talked to both you and Fin there was no
mention of Nash in his chemistry statement. He just asked if team chemistry
was better.

I thought Jim Gray was a solid reporter (if thats what you call him) but
this was ridiculous."

Obviously I trust Adam to report accurately more than I trust Jim Gray.

What Gray did is pretty much the definition of slime reporting. I will talk
to Dirk about it, but for a reporter or whatever he calls himself to
misrepresent an interviewee's comments in order to elicit an emotional or
controversial response is wrong.

ABC Sports should take immediate action against Jim Gray and suspend him
from working until he apologizes to Dirk and Mavs fans.

Jim Gray sees himself as the great investigator when all he
really is is a great instigator.

I am not a fan of Gray. But who the hell is Adam W?

Yeah, but when it gets Cuban's hackles up it can't be all bad, can it? ;-)

Cuban is upset that someone is trying to "elicit an emotional or
controversial response". Can you believe the nerve of some people, huh Mark?

"Chemistry is better this year." So...what's the difference between this
year and last. Ah ha...Steve Nash is no longer here. Ergo, without Steve
Nash, chemistry is better.

You don't have to actually say it.
