Do you think the players will go home when they get their ball back? Smile

Had a feeling that they would switch back, just didnt know when. Looks like the new year will be starting off good for these complaining superstars.

Glad to see that they switched back...probably not the best move by no consulting the players and switching in the first place!

I new sooner or later it would return

It was a good decision for them to switch the ball back to leather.

Yeah after the nba floods the xmas market selling the new ball now all the would-be thug wanna be's will have to go to dick's to get the NEW OLD ball great marketing for a sucky league.

This info makes me so happy...I know the last game I played in, it felt slick to where I couldn't even palm it to do my power layup, lol. No seriously, there have been alot of complaints about this ball among players.

Doc Holliday · 12-28-2006, 12:11 AM

yeah Shaq said it hurt his free throws.
