2016 Democratic National Convention
With the National Basketball Association concluding its season in June, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has a new sport to follow. As he revealed last August in a chat on his social media app Cyber Dust, "5 weeks till training camp [...] [b]ut until then Donald Trump watching is a sport." Though Cuban, a fellow businessman and billionaire, then praised Trump's unconventional candidacy as "probably the best thing to happen to politics in a long, long time", and even offered himself as a possible running mate, he has since grown critical of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, questioning his wealth, temperament, and business acumen. The marked change has led to speculation about Cuban's own political aspirations. In May, members of the #NeverTrump movement approached him about running for president as an independent, which he rejected. He did, however, open himself to running as the running mate for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, punctuating that possibility with a statement that he is leaning toward voting for her over Trump in November. As the 
 approaches, Cuban has continued to express his interest in the position.
