Watch: Mavs' Cuban sorry for NBA probe findings, accepts responsibility
The NBA announced its findings of the investigation into the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday after a Sports Illustrated article in February exposed the extreme extent of misogyny and sexual predatory behavior in the workplace on the team's business side.
Numerous instances of sexual harassment were found within the organization for over 20 years; Mavericks owner Mark Cuban agreed to donate $10 million to help combat domestic violence and promote women in the workplace after the completion of the probe. The vocal owner appeared on ESPN's "The Jump" on Wednesday and expressed guilt and regret for not paying better attention to the non-basketball side of the organization.
Here's Part 1 of my interview with Mark Cuban, on just how he let things get so bad with the Mavericks: "There's no way to downplay it and if someone showed me this from another company and asked me to read it - I would say you can't make a bigger mistake." pic.twitter.com/toR4ZbrdAZ

Here's Part 2 of my interview with Mark Cuban, where he says he has "no excuse" for some of the decisions he made in letting down the women who worked for the Mavericks, and whether Adam Silver asked him to sell the team. pic.twitter.com/mxnC4zKxCg
