Mark Cuban used his Saturday night TV show to take on everyone from the giant of the NBA to a giant of local television.
     Mavs owner Cuban?s half-hour variety show, which also featured an interview with Juwan Howard in which the power forward revealed that he?s a soap-opera freak, served as a platform for Cuban to playfully ponder a new facet of O?Neal?s free-throw problems: The fact that the Lakers star appears to break a rule by stepping across the line before his free-throw shot reaches the rim.
     ?Should I turn him in??? Cuban asked.
     ?If you turn him in,?? Howard responded, ?remember that guys like me. ? have to cover him. You don?t ever have to cover him!??
     Concluded Cuban: ?I?m gonna turn his big ol? butt in, because he?s going to be thinking about it over and over and over.??
     Cuban also retaliated against long-time WFAA-TV sports anchor Dale Hansen, who recently joked that Cuban and Frankenstein ?are separated at birth. ? Mark Cuban is Frankenstein without the bolts.??
