Mark Cuban’s Response To Tucker Carlson Ratings Tweet Going Viral
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban hasn’t shied away from criticism of the league on social media and that was very evident this week.
Some have chosen to criticize the NBA for its “political” moves inside of the bubble at Disney World in Florida. Players have worn Black Lives Matter shirts and kneeled for the national anthem before games.
One pundit pointed to Tucker Carlson’s TV ratings, saying the Fox News host is dominating the NBA.
“Tucker Carlson’s TV ratings continue to dominate the NBA. His Thursday night show had 3.65 million viewers. Two NBA primetime Thursday games COMBINED for only 2.6 million viewers. It’s a ratings massacre. The NBA can’t touch Tucker,” he wrote.

We weren’t aware of the NBA attempting to compete for ratings with a political news show, but Cuban decided to weigh in.
“In the advertiser coveted 18-49 demographic, our prime time outperformed Tucker in prime time by 215%. He did slaughter us in the 70+ plus demographic, so have to give credit there,” Cuban said on Twitter.
Cuban’s tweet has already been retweeted more than 11,000 times and liked more than 80,000 times. It’s one of his most-popular tweets ever.
