Maybe it's a NBA new logo with Dwyane Wade in it as he's teh G.O.A.T. all of a sudden.

I think its gonna be a box full of money that Stern collected from fining Mark Cuban.

Forget the Miami Heat's locker room bowl. This is the NBA's answer to Pulp Fiction and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I don't really care for the new design, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the old one. Having said that, I will be swayed if David Stern does perform a Raiders of the Lost Ark parody when he takes the ball out of the box. More than likely though, it'll just be a photo op and a speech about how this is an exciting new development for the NBA in its 60th season.

Anyone remember the book "The NBA at 50"? It was an absolutley fantatstic book. Maybe they'll do NBA at 60, I'd love that.

I do not know what is in the box.

This thread is full of some fucking hilarious comedians who can eat shit and die.

Or they'll just legalize travelling and make it official that it's a foul everytime you come anywhere near Wade.

Nice balls!! :lol:

Will be cool is Stern chops his head off and put it into the box for us to burn. :mrgreen:

j/k

i think the transparent shotclock mentioned in a link above would be a better surprise. if i remember right there were some changes to the nba ball some years back and the players hated them once the season started because they were slightly off somehow, they had to switch back to the old ones.

wonder if it's a nba tv subscription package with it's own tv and wireless system to watch nba games wherever and whenever. if not and one becomes available later please petition the league for a discount for me for mentioning it here first.

Gloveguy has sand in his vagina again.

And yeah it's a new ball. I don't see the point in changing it, but oh well.

Lame joke removed - Jae

They used the ball in the 2006 ASG

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. The new ball was used exclusively at the NBA pre-draft camp.

Looks like Stern wants less jumpshots and more dunks.

by **Bang** on Tue Jun 27, 2006 6:09 pm

The new ball looks ugly...if that IS the new ball..
I HOPE it's something different...Maybe it's empty.

by **rongotai** on Tue Jun 27, 2006 6:34 pm

"This is an 8 panel ball .. you couldnt get the new 2 panel one?

LOL Colangelo said that on the Raps draft special

by **scrub** on Tue Jun 27, 2006 10:20 pm

Looks like we're geting a new ball but it might be something different in the box (Y)

by **Jing** on Tue Jun 27, 2006 11:42 pm

i didint even notice it...
that ball looks really strange... like a "xtreme basketball league!" ball or something

by **Fitzy** on Tue Jun 27, 2006 11:56 pm

i dont see what was wrong with the old one but a change is a change i guess

by **BIG GREEN** on Wed Jun 28, 2006 1:29 am

Stern did a good job getting the nba out of the rutt it was in the pre 1980's...now it looks like he's gotten bored and has started to over do it. I think his last several changes to the league have done more harm than good; except referee replay. Why fix something if it aint broke? What he needs to work on is getting better officiating.

Reason why I minimized the text. My name was already mentioned in this topic so obviously I'm going to say something about it. I could really care less right now.
