Hey, ACGreen thanks for putting my quote in ur post. I appreciate the support.

As for what's in the box, I don't think its going to be a new ball unless they are going to put a camera in it. They specifically said that it will change how we watch the game, so I believe that its going to be some sort of camera. I'm hoping its a camera for the refs to have on. So we can gain a better perspective about the actual fouls that they see and don't see from their perspective.

I just wish it will be a camera that the refs will wear so we can see exactly what they see when they make the foul calls. It would make the refs more accountable and put all the conspiracy theory's to rest. However, from the shape of the box it looks like its going to be a ball inside so maybe you guys are right.

Now we get to watch free throw contests with everyone driving (and flopping) to the hole!

An inflatable Dwyane Wade blowup doll for Stern to sleep with at night?

I was wondering why all of the poor shooting during the allstar game. I thought it was an overinflated ball, never knew they were using a different style. Seams and texture really play a big part in jump shooting. Kobe's shot looked terrible during that game.

DEAL OR NO DEAL?

Howie: I'll give you Marcus Banks right now for that Box ... the Box may contain LeBron James ... or it may contain Sasha Vujacic as your starting guard. Deal or no Deal!?

Mitch: I'll take the Box! Come on LeBron!

Howie: Oh, Im sorry, its Sasha!

Congratulations, and thanks for playing, Deal or No Deal!

In contrast to what we've heard, the NY Times is reporting that the new ball actually gives a BETTER grip.

N.B.A. Retires Leather Ball
Sign In to E-Mail This Print Reprints Save

By RICHARD SANDOMIR
Published: June 28, 2006
The National Basketball Association will introduce a new game ball today at its Midtown Manhattan store, bringing an end to the 60-year run of the leather ball. Teams will begin using the new ball in the 2006-7 season.

The new ball, produced by Spalding, is made of a composite material that is meant to ensure a better grip. The league last altered the design of the ball 35 years ago, when it moved from one made with four panels to one with eight.

Traditionally, a fresh leather ball is too slippery to be used in a game, so teams break them in during practice to improve their grip. By comparison, the new composite ball can be used immediately.

Spalding composite balls have been used in the N.B.A. Development League and in the Women's National Basketball Association. But the N.B.A.'s new ball will be different from the ones used by its other affiliated leagues.

The N.B.A.'s shift from leather comes nearly four years after the National Collegiate Athletic Association made a similar move to a Wilson composite ball for its men's and women's tournaments. That followed decisions by most teams and conferences to abandon leather for synthetic balls during the regular season.

Teams still have a choice, but the N.C.A.A. does not keep track of how many still use leather, a spokeswoman said. In 2002, at the time of the N.C.A.A. decision, only 6 of the 64 teams in the men's tournament used leather balls.

LMFAO @ Kwame.

So.....it is better for grip, but worst for shooting? Hmm....will help some, hurt others.

For the one that cost 100, is it meant for inside and outside, or just in?
