The subject of tanking has become one of the hottest topics in the modern NBA. While the NBA is currently taking steps to eliminate tanking and make the sport competitive year-round, Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban believes the topic of tanking isn't a big enough concern for the NBA to focus all of its brainpower on and that the league should actually embrace tanking.
In a streak of tweets, Cuban responded to the NBA calling for a board of governors meeting to eliminate tanking by simply saying tanking isn't the big problem, fan engagement is. While both sides of the topic have great talking points, Cuban's comments have stuck out like a sore thumb for the small community that believes tanking is simply a scapegoat for a bigger problem that the NBA is trying to put a band-aid on; it's becoming too expensive to watch or attend basketball games for fans.
