Two seasons ago, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was hoisting an NBA championship trophy over his head. Today the brazen billionaire’s Mavs are hobbling their way out of playoff contention for the first time in more than a decade.

At the season’s midway point, the last-place Suns are off to their worst start since Bush Sr. was Prez — well before half their roster was even born.
