Earlier this week, the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA Finals and finally, after coming so close in 2006 in a loss to the Miami Heat, Mark Cuban received the NBA Championship Trophy for the first time.

Ever since buying the team in 2000, Mark has been known for his enthusiasm and energy behind the team’s bench at every game. Some might even say that Mark takes it a bit too far. The NBA has fined Cuban at least $1,665,000 for 13 incidents that range from yelling at players to even storming the court.

But after the Mavericks won the NBA Finals this week, Cuban, took his enthusiasm to the next level. Taking the entire team out for a parade and after party, Cuban racked up a grand bill of over $1.5 million (over 1.2million on the parade in Dallas & over $110,000 bar tab in Miami).

“It was worth every penny!”
