Cuban wore No. 46 in Celebrity Game 'to tweak the s--- out of everybody'

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban knew exactly what he was doing when he chose to wear No. 46 while participating in the All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday night.

After finishing with just one rebound and one steal in 17 minutes of action, Cuban said, with a big smile on his face, that the choice in number was designed "to tweak the shit out of everybody," according to ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk.

"It was just to f--- with everybody, because that is what I do," Cuban added. "You've got to have fun with it. You can't take it too seriously. So we'll see."

The No. 46 was reportedly a response to Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. Cuban originally mentioned that No. 23 was his favorite, but it was taken, so he simply doubled it to get 46.

Well, no one on the opposing squad actually wore No. 23.

"I think Mark did it (as), you know, it's a statement," said Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry, who played opposite Cuban on the East roster.

Trump tweeted out on Feb. 12 that Cuban - who has been extremely critical of him since he entered the White House - isn't smart enough to run for POTUS.

The two have been at each other's throats on social media for a while now, with Cuban even reminding Trump recently that he hasn't ruled out one day running for office himself.
