Title: Statistics do not support players' complaints
Review: The new ball, soon to be the old ball, is a marvel of technology. NBA players complained long enough and loud enough to the league to have it replaced. Yet, the statistics do not support the complaints. Shooting percentage is up slightly this year with the new ball, and does anyone believe that skills are up this year? This ball will now become a collectors item. Recreational players have a lot of options, including a new ball reputed to need less frequent filling. Ball preference for most of us is just that, a preference. Some prefer a tackier ball, some less. Some balls are great when dry, less so when wet. Like different shoes, I like to keep a variety of balls around and choose depending on mood and conditions. This should be, as advertised, an indoor ball only.
