    Wow! You are good. If it's the new ball, then this secret isn't really a secret.

    Lower shooting percentages? Why would they switch to a ball that is inferior to the original?

    Start stocking up on basketballs with the original design, they'll become a collector's dream in about 20 years when Stern dies and the original comes back on "Retro" nights!

    thank you. I'm watching that movie tonight. it's been too long.

    hilarious. now I'm conflicted. I'll watch that episode before I watch the movie.

    Maybe they're making it smaller so that Yao can palm it, just to further stick it to Cuban.

    It's not, but players are going to have to adjust to a different feel than what they've had their entire career. A different grip makes a huge impact.

    I think that the box is holding the head of SVG...

    I can appreciate that. But, I was referring to this sentence from the article TECH posted: "One of the side effects of this new non-leather ball
    will likely be the decrease in shooting percentages, as the ball tends
    to “bobble” out a touch more than the normal NBA ball." I understand that to mean it "bobbles" in the basket more.
