Mark Cuban not yet conceding that Russell Westbrook's a superstar, but he bought -- and loves -- OKC guard's signature jeans

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban infamously proclaimed during last year's playoff series against Oklahoma City that Thunder guard Russell Westbrook is not a superstar -- at least not by Cuban's definition.

In December of this season, Cuban allowed that, yes, Westbrook is putting up superstar numbers, but added "We'll see (at the end of the season) if he's a superstar or if he's pretty damn good." That's because Cuban's extremely un-Webster's definition is that a superstar must be able to lead his team to 50-plus wins and at least one playoff series victory.

With the Mavericks tonight facing the Thunder for the first time this season -- and the only time in Oklahoma City -- Cuban naturally is again facing Westbrook questions.
