Did Mark Cuban really sell 73% of the Mavericks, or just 73% of his own stake?

Mark Cuban sold 73% of his own stake in the Dallas Mavericks to the Adelson family in 2023. The misconception that he sold 73% of the entire team stems from a misinterpretation of the numbers. Cuban was the majority owner but not the sole owner. When he sold his stake, the media rounded up the numbers, leading to the confusion that he sold 73% of the entire team. In reality, he retained 27% of the team's ownership.
