Stern: New NBA ball is staying

Apparently the main problem with the old, leather balls was that each one was slightly different, and therefore reacted slightly differently in play. To me, that's part of the game: an additional factor that is imposed on all participants equally (everybody plays the game with the same ball, after all).

Methinks Mr. Stern could use a bit of Emerson: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."

AP - David Stern expected complaints, and he got plenty of them. His response: The new ball is staying.
