Never noticed the ball at the ASG.

Bad joke warning (GloveGuy look away):A literal black box for last season's Knicks? Like the ones in the planes?

Really, it might not be the ball. The ball was already anounced.

It explains why Ray couldnt hit a jumpshot to save his life in the All Star game...

Here is a theory, The ball will flash everytime its hit (pressure sensative strobe light inside). This way it will not flash if someone dont block it and fouls the person shooting. If the ball flashes and the person gets hit, while in the act of shooting, then it will be called as a block, no foul.

Stern is a genius!

No.........

I think it's just a redisign, which I think is stupid.

Now im going to have to burn some money on a new ball.

Why waste your money on a new ball, a ball is a ball. As long as its round, the design does not matter.

we did, but he was too busy blasting out Johnny Cash to hear us.

It's officially the new ball. No real big suprise there.

by **Jing** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 1:28 am

it looks like a soccer ball with all the curves and stuff.

Odd how they made such a big deal out of this black box being opened on draft night and then just.... say what it is online.

Kinda obvious.
Here it is:

A "revolutionary" ball. Stern deserves a Nobel Prize.
Players talking about feeling their balls.

by **BIG GREEN** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 2:29 am

What the players are saying is part of their contract with the nba. They are required to promote whatever shitty shit stern asks them to. If you want real opinions...go into the locker rooms without the media present...and you'll see every asking "what the fuxx???" like the rest of us.

It is a magic ball that will help Shaq for FT !!

by **Buckley** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 2:36 am

Wow......this new ball is on sale for 100 bucks.

As for the new ball being in this box, it comes as no surprise.

by **frenchy** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 2:37 am

100$ !! are you kidding me :shock:

I guess this closes the thread.. unless there are other comments and what not

by **Silas** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:15 am

thats really cheap for an NBA quality basketball, wow

by **dsigns** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:50 am

This is what's really inside.

by **hammertime23** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:55 am

Haha that would be really funny. But we all know it's a basketball.

by **scrub** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 5:14 am

Sound sgood but doens;t really have much effect on the fans since we're not playing so I don't why they hyped up a new ball so much.

by **Cloudy** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 6:39 am

I wonder what will brands like Nike or Adidas or Wilson do? Will do stick with the old design or will they have these weird ass curvy style?

by **Scotty** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 2:46 pm

when i first saw the pics earlier (all star game etc.) it didn't look as good, but now somehow i like it-and yeah it does have the curves like a soccer ball, it'd look pretty sweet when u spin it too
