Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said Tuesday that he is actively considering running for president.

"Based off what is happening in the White House, based on what is happening in the country and the world, I think we need better leadership," Cuban said. "I think I could do a better job."

Right now, Cuban says though he is thinking about it, the odds are slim he will launch a presidential campaign, joking that his wife would divorce him.

Still, he added, "Who knows what happens in the next 3 plus years, right?"

He says if a candidate steps up that he thinks will do a better job, then great. However, there is no denying that Cuban would make an interesting presidential candidate, and he would be an independent candidate.
