Editor's note: The following appeared in the April 16, 2011, editions of The Dallas Morning News. It's a reminder that Mark Cuban was like many of us in our early 20s -- cash-strapped and searching for his life path. We're bringing it back today to mark the anniversary of Cuban's arrival in Dallas.Three weeks before his 24th birthday, Mark Cuban sputtered into Dallas in his '77 Fiat X1/9, leaking oil and optimism.All he had on that July 7, 1982 day was a little cash, wrinkled clothes, a sleeping bag, a two-seat car with a hole in the floorboard and an invite to bunk with five guys in a three-bedroom apartment.His ensuing rise to billionaire Mavericks owner is well-known dot-com lore, but what about the backstory?
