You may have heard that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and President Donald Trump don’t exactly get along.
In their latest beef, Trump gave his thoughts on a potential 2020 presidential campaign for Cuban.
I know Mark Cuban well. He backed me big-time but I wasn't interested in taking all of his calls.He's not smart enough to run for president!

Well, Cuban participated in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday in New Orleans, and he fired back with his choice of jersey number. Choosing No. 46 since he would be the 46th president if he were elected in 2020.

Cuban, however, tried to give a different explanation during his pregame interview.
Mark Cuban called Donald Trump "Pinocchio." Tonight he's wearing a #46 jersey, which he joked was because it's "two times 23." pic.twitter.com/nZ3RstOCyV

If Cuban does run, perhaps he and Trump could forgo the debates and play one-on-one instead.
