Cuban sees Dirk in Porzingis: 'Both have that F--k you in them'
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban likes what sees in New York Knicks phenom Kristaps Porzingis, and thinks he possesses the extra edge that his own longtime franchise anchor Dirk Nowitzki does.
"They both have that 'Fuck you' in them," Cuban said Wednesday, according to the New York Daily News' Stefan Bondy.

Porzingis has shown a feisty side in his season-and-a-half in the NBA, mixing it up with Marquese Chriss and needling Draymond Green.
The form of praise doesn't necessarily mean Cuban wants the 38-year-old Nowitzki working with the 21-year-old Porzingis in the offseason.
"Fuck no. You know how much money I pay Dirk?" Cuban said. "Unless he teaches them how to shoot like me, then I'll be really excited about it."
