I guess I am not shocked by this just didn't think it would happen so soon. Without using it I can only say it was kind of neat as many of the long rang bombs hit the rim and stayed closer to the basket where with the "old" ball you would often see longer rebounds. I am glad the league recoginzed that the players didn't like it. Good move imo.

I'm so glad they went back to the old ball I here that most all of the players did not like it. So maybe Wade can make a shot..

glad that the league listened to the players and brought the old ball back. of course, i would imagine we'll see the new ball (or at least a similar design) sometime down the line, in a couple more seasons maybe.

So... They wait until 20+ games into the season to do this? Stern is a funny guy...
