Watching Cuban

Marc Cuban, arguably the sporting worlds most well known blogger is back at it again today.

Even fans who dislike him admit that he's a great fan and does everything he can to make the Maveric's better. That he has done so while having such a public presence via BlogMaverick is completely unique. Go back and read about the Mav's letting Nash leave for Phoenix or letting Michael Finley leave last summer.

When I found out (afterward, I didn't even have time to watch Thursdays game) that he'd been dashing off blurbs during game one of the series I just had to go see if he was updating today. He is! We'll see if he takes a different approach after a loss, but for fans this is yet another way to connect with their team of choice. For the casual fan, compare Cubans boundless enthusiasm to Riles grumpiness or the big mumble's interviews. Who are you going to root for?

Basketball related weblogs really found a place this post season and now Cuban is providing his views in near real time. Weblogs may not have changed everything, but they are changing sports in ways that will have long term implications.
