Mark Cuban wears ‘46’ in NBA celebrity game to jab Trump, 45th president, report says

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wore jersey No. 46 in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday night, and a source told ESPN it was a jab at President Donald Trump in their ongoing long-distance battle, usually waged on Twitter.

Trump is the 45th president of the United States.

On Sunday, Trump had tweeted, “I know Mark Cuban well. He backed me big time but I wasn’t interested in taking all of his calls. He’s not smart enough to run for president.”

That had come after some critical remarks of Trump last week by Cuban, a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter during the presidential campaign.
