Scott Township native and noted billionaire Mark Cuban still follows Pittsburgh sports teams -- he had a front row seat at the Pitt game Sunday -- but he has no desire to invest in the Penguins. "Been there, done that," said Cuban, who owns the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. "Mario's doing a great a job with the Penguins. One team's enough for me." Cuban wanted to be part of Mario Lemieux's ownership team as Lemieux was seeking to buy the Penguins out of bankruptcy in 1999, but he had philosophical differences with Lemieux's group and pulled out. "It just didn't work out," Cuban said. Cuban visited with his old South Hills buddies this past weekend. He played pick-up basketball yesterday morning, paid a visit to Kazansky's Deli in Squirrel Hill and took in Pitt's game against Connecticut before heading home.
