Su Wan was naturally behind this.
Bill Duffy made the calls and pulled together the materials to report Donaghy at Su Wan's behest.
As Yao Ming's agent, it was Bill's job to handle such matters; thus, he did not refuse and was even happy to tackle them. Wouldn't anyone hope for their client to be even more successful?
In his third professional season, termed the "New OK Combination" alongside McGrady, Yao ought to have shone brighter.
He indeed could have achieved that; they had given the Mavericks a "0-2" start, and then Mark Cuban had sent out the videotapes.
Such "extrajudicial measures" weren't unusual in NBA history, but it certainly was rare for an owner to get involved personally.
Su Wan could understand Cuban's urgency.
If the Mavericks could eliminate the Rockets, they would face the Suns in the second round.
Mark Cuban needed this opportunity to prove himself.
And he was willing to do something crazy for it.
