Ross Perot Jr Dallas Mavericks ownership

In March 1996, Perot Jr purchased the Dallas Mavericks NBA basketball team from original owner Don Carter.

In his four-year tenure, the Mavericks made no more progress on the court than they had in Carter’s final seasons.

It was said that he was a basketball novice, or disinterested in the sport[18] and was using his position as team owner to front his projects; most notably Victory Park, which was anchored by the American Airlines Center which opened in 2001.

In January 2000, Perot Jr sold the team to Cuban and the franchise did not have a losing season in fifteen subsequent afterward.
They won two Western Conference championships and the 2011 NBA championship.

In May 2010, Perot Jr who retained 5 percent ownership, filed a lawsuit against Cuban, alleging the franchise was insolvent or in imminent danger of insolvency.

Cuban responded in June 2010 in a court filing maintaining that Perot Jr is wrongly seeking money to offset some $100 million in losses on the Victory Park real estate development.

The lawsuit was dismissed in 2011, due in part to Cuban asserting proper management of the team due to its recent victory in the 2011 NBA Finals. In 2014, the 5th Circuit Court affirmed that decision on appeal.
