News Lead:

DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban predicts that the future of NBA ownership will be dominated by real estate. The high-profile billionaire made his comments during a recent interview, explaining that teams with strong real estate assets will have a significant advantage over those that do not.

Cuban, who is also the former principal owner and current minority owner of the Mavericks, pointed to several factors that make real estate valuable for NBA teams.

• Revenue generation: Real estate can be used to generate revenue through various sources, such as ticket sales, concessions, and parking.
• Appreciation: The value of real estate tends to appreciate over time, which can benefit team owners.
• Control: Owning real estate gives teams more control over their operations and the surrounding area.

Cuban's prediction is supported by the recent trend of NBA teams investing in real estate. In recent years, several teams have built new arenas or renovated existing ones, which has helped them to increase their revenue and improve their fan experience.

As the NBA continues to grow in popularity, Cuban believes that real estate will become even more important for team owners. He predicts that teams with strong real estate portfolios will be the most successful in the future.
