Mark Cuban still isn't over the Golden State Warriors eliminating his Dallas Mavericks in last season's Western Conference Finals.

The Mavericks owner chose not to invest in a car air freshener company on a recent episode of "Shark Tank" because one of the contestants' samples featured the Warriors' logo.

"The one air freshener from the NBA is the team that beats us in the NBA Conference Finals," Cuban said when asked by his fellow "Shark Tank" judges why he was upset. "Gotta know that that could backfire."

The Warriors defeated the Mavericks in five games to advance to the Finals, eventually capturing their seventh NBA title and fourth in eight years.

The two teams will meet for the first time this season Tuesday in Dallas.
