    Most NBA owners surely dreamed of having Michael Jordan on their team at one point, but Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban actually tried to make it happen.

    Cuban joined 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday and said he attempted to talk Jordan and his agent, David Falk, into signing with the Mavericks instead of the Washington Wizards when His Airness returned to basketball in 2001 (h/t Jason Owens of Yahoo Sports).

    "The day he signed with the Washington Wizards to come back, David Falk—that's right when I was buying the Mavs—said, 'Why don't you go meet him?'" Cuban said. "So I went to David Falk's office and all the papers were right there. And I was trying to convince MJ to not sign them and to do something with the Mavs."
