Cuban was walking off the court after his team dropped their third straight game of the series and had a verbal confrontation with Kenyon Martin's Mother, Lydia Moore.
Moore claims that Cuban told her that her son was a punk, and that it was an unprovoked verbal attack. Cuban claims that he saw Moore, as a fan was yelling that the Nuggets were "thugs."
"That includes your son," Cuban said to Moore, according to his e-mail to The Denver Post.
Either way it seems as though Moore was the victim of Cuban's verbal abuse, for reasons unknown.
Martin spoke to the media about it after Monday's shoot around.
"I don't feel I need to call his name in the media and all that, but it's a little personal," Martin told The Denver Post. "And I'm going to take care of it.
"If you got something to say, say it to me. But I'm going to take care of it. I'm not going to do the whole media thing, back and forth. That's his thing. I'm more of a face-to-face type of dude.
There is definitely a little more interest in the Denver vs. Dallas match up tonight, and it isn't because this has been a great series.
Twitterers seem to be with K-Mart on this:
