Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has playfully called-out Nets counterpart Mikhail Prokhorov for his hands-off style.

"He's a [expletive]," Cuban said Thursday evening, using a crude term considered an insult to one's manhood.

The comment was made in jest, but Cuban did elaborate by calling out Prokhorov for not attending games on a regular basis.

When Prokhorov does attend a game, he does so from a suite. Meanwhile, Cuban rarely misses a game and sits courtside.

"I think he recognizes that his job is progress more than rings right now," Cuban said. "But you never know. If Prokhorov does what I did to try to make deals and get something before the trade deadline, then all that changes.

"But, you know, building a true professional team means having to spend money. We just haven't seen it."
