Cuban-Nickel crisis could be nightmare for Stern

Coming in just under the wire, we have a winner in the contest for the day's best headline.
If Mark Cuban believes in the concept of pride of ownership, his competitive hackles have just been roused by the news out of Moscow, and so his game must be raised commensurately.
He is about to face The Nickel King, and nobody is giving odds either way yet. We just know that if Cuban rises to the task, David Stern may pull off his own head just to make the pain stop.
...Now Prokhorov only has a deal, so it hasn't come before the 30 not-so-wise men. Ratner of course will vote for it because, to get out of the mess he's made, he'd sell the Nets to Jim Balsillie and tell him he can move the team to the Yukon.
