    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">DALLAS - Mavericks owner Mark Cuban lambasted Phoenix Suns fans for booing Dirk Nowitzki after the Mavs forward was injured in the third quarter of Wednesday's Game 5.

    Nowitzki was hit in the left eye by Suns guard Jim Jackson, who was trying to knock the ball loose. Nowitzki fell and didn't get up for several minutes. He was booed as he went to the locker room for treatment.

    "It's the most classless thing I've seen since I've been in the NBA," Cuban said.

    Although the eye is bruised and swollen, Nowitzki said he has had no vision problems.

    "I was really lucky on the play," Nowitzki said. "If he would have hit me really in the eye, I probably would have been out."</div>

    1) Cuban, You're not "in" the NBA. You happen to own a team (that lost).

    2) Apparently he missed the Pacers and Pistons brawl.

    Also, the Sonics fans booed Tim Duncan when he got injured in game 6. That was the wrong thing to do though, because he had his best performance after that injury.

    Acutally sience he owns a National Basketball Association team therefore he is part of the NBA, and is in the NBA.

    And that was extreamly classles, cuban is right.
