NBA to play with a new ball next year

Some of them already are partially synthetic.

 

Caption material.

KOBE: I know you're not going anywhere with MY BALL!


KOBE: hhhmmmm, nice hair........

 

I Seriously doubt this is going to happen

 

i think the reason that they change it is because teams like suns shooting percentage is too high. I think it helps us a lil.

 

Or, maybe they're going coed & merging the WNBA with the NBA.

Another all male event bites the dust.

 

I think the only upside is that Spalding will now sell MORE basketballs and thus make more money.

 

if they change the design of the ball, then wouldnt some teams have to change their logos aswell??

 

Maybe I'm in the minority,but if this is true I'm dead set against it.You don't mess around with Dr.Naismith's game to this degree.

 

Yeah, first the elimination of the peach basket, and now this. Where will it end?

 

m cable,
Do you have any idea as to exactly what they are going to do to it?

 

Hey,I don't want to be an alarmist,but until I hear what they are doing,I'm going to be a bit skeptical.

 

No. I was just jokin around, man.

 

I know.It's all good.

 

Make it more EUROBALL like
The internationalization of the game continues

A slicker ball will turn the game into a turnover fest
then
people can b*tch about the lack of fundamentals some more

Rocket River

 

maybe there should be TWO balls in play during the game! that way, players will need to buy more basketballs

 

Why don't We make a smaller ball for Shaq?!!?

 

Ya he had the right idea going there...

 

i don't think it will have much affect. the nba probably just signed a new deal with a different sporting goods company.

think about playing basketball at the park (or wherever you like to play)... you don't allways play with the same ball, not even the same material. your game doesn't change much.

 

I wonder if it will wear any differently than a leather ball would playing it on concrete all the time
