Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and a maverick in his own right, has strong words of praise for fellow billionaire businessman Donald Trump just weeks after calling the GOP presidential candidate a “Paper Tiger.”

“I have to honestly say he is probably the best thing to happen to politics in a long time,” Cuban said in a statement on his own Cyber Dust app.

“I don’t care what his actual positions are, I don’t care if he says the wrong thing,” Cuban continues. “He says what’s on his mind. He gives honest answers rather than prepared answers. This is more important than anything any candidate has done in years.”
