During an interview with TMZ, Mark Cuban was asked his thoughts on the attention Swift has brought to the NFL. He feels she generates money wherever she goes and wants her to bring that attention to the NBA.
"Look Taylor there's a whole bunch of guys in the NBA I'll be more than happy to introduce you to," Cuban said. "The Mavs have got a bunch of single guys, call me."
Earlier this year, Cuban sold his majority stake in the Mavericks for $3.5 billion. That said, he still owns 27% of the franchise and serves as an alternate governor. One of the key points of the sale was that Cuban still controls the basketball operations.
