While it's true he may not "do the work" and relies on those he's hired, the same is true of the Mark Cubans of the world.

This is exactly what I was saying (grandparent comment).

I’m not trying to detract from his success or call him stupid, not at all.

But it’s worth pointing out that the only qualification for starting a successful venture firm is having money.

Going to Golden State was fruitful for quite a few players. Great timing.
