I think his strengths relies on his marketing skills of a tech product and he can sell it to people by taking advantage of the situation. Example is the dotcom era business which everyone is so hyped that those early dotcom entrepreneurs made alot of fortunes, there are dozens more who earned more than Mark Cuban selling their company but his face is more prominent because of the publicity. So maybe his a marketing genius and not the tech genius like how he portrays himself. I totally agree with Cuban not the tech geek kind.

He reeks of salesman, publicity hog and otherwise 'A' type person. From what I've read about him the main and salient point that comes across is his energy. He has a ton of it. At least right now. But that's standard issue for type 'A' people. I work with many of them and they all are in the same, white collar workmanlike jobs as the rest of us. They lack, however, the breaks Cuban had and, or course, the chance to make that break pay. Most of us fight the day in and day out of office work, slugging it out to get a project done, a report sent out or dodging incoming and side damage from the ever present in-house office political machine. We use the same grit, energy and in a lot of cases, skill, Cuban did. But, we weren't selling. We're working. Which is why Cuban is involved in sports now. He's has to keep moving, or competing as an outlet for all of that energy his has. It's a passion for him, not just a gentleman's side bar. His sports owner trajectory would put him in the same class as Steinbrenner. After sports I bet you'll see Cuban pop up again and again in other highly visible (and money making) projects. Always selling, always selling. A high-end pitchman. Maybe politics. Maybe the new 'green' tech sector. Who knows? Bet his luck runs out someday, down the road. Or not? I’m still not seeing Cuban as a tech geek, or even a technically oriented kinda person. He reeks of salesman, publicity hog and otherwise ‘A’ type person.
