Mark Cuban and 2 Chainz formed an unlikely pair in the game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors. Per Tim MacMahon of ESPN, Below is a photo of the Mavs owner and hip hop star hanging out.

For most Mavs fans, seeing 2 Chainz near Cuban is a familiar sight. He's a known friend of the owner and of the players as well. Below is a photo of the hip-hop star with Mavs legend Dirk Nowitzki from two years ago.

Below is a series of videos from 2 Chainz' Instagram account a few years ago. It seems that he's seated very near the Mavs' bench — which is where Cuban usually sits.
