Mark Cuban used his Saturday night TV show to take on everyone from the giant of the NBA to a giant of local television. Mavs owner Cuban’s half-hour variety show, which also featured an interview with Juwan Howard in which the power forward revealed that he’s a soap-opera freak, served as a platform for Cuban to playfully ponder a new facet of O’Neal’s free-throw problems: The fact that the Lakers star appears to break a rule by stepping across the line before his free-throw shot reaches the rim. “Should I turn him in?’’ Cuban asked. “If you turn him in,’’ Howard responded, “remember that guys like me. … have to cover him. You don’t ever have to cover him!’’ Concluded Cuban: “I’m gonna turn his big ol’ butt in, because he’s going to be thinking about it over and over and over.’’ Cuban also retaliated against long-time WFAA-TV sports anchor Dale Hansen, who recently joked that Cuban and Frankenstein “are separated at birth. … Mark Cuban is Frankenstein without the bolts.’’
