Let us compare him to another owner; Dan Snyder of the Redskins.
Both are about the same age (early 40s)
Both aquired their money through telecommunications and Internet stuff.
They bought their teams around the same time.
Both have had a "hands-on" approach to running their teams.
Now the differences:
Cuban is like a 13 year old that has won the lottery and bought his favorite team. He runs it like a fan, and acts like a fan, and because of this knows what will work while being able to make the money to keep the team.
Snyder is like an accountant who somehow made enough to risk buying a team. He wants a return on his investment as soon as possible, and when something doesn't work, he cuts his losses and goes in a different direction.
Interesting comparison IMO.
