NBA Players: We Don't Love The New Ball

What's wrong with the new ball?

Having used the new NBA mircofiber ball two weeks ago on our Sat. pick up games, I love it. It's been great for me. My 10-15 footers were going in, the new ball feels lighter, I had better grip grip. This overall resulted in better shots. With the added bonus of the new ball complimenting well with my Yao Ming jersey, too.

Where it counts though, in the NBA, everybody didn't respond well to it at all. Come Jan. 1 next year, the league will switch back to the leather ball. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2694335

Hey commish, stick with what works. You have three things in basketball: the players, the ball, and the hoop. Don't mess with those things and you're fine, you have a great sport there. (Of course you could always change the ref-ing.)

Oh well, I will still look good in my Yao jersey.
