I don’t know who this is, but if you do an image search for basketball doofus, he shows up.
Three months into the season, the NBA is dropping their new microfiber basketballs and returning to the old leather model.
Sounds like it’s essentially a result of pro ballers being nostalgic spoiled brats. As justified by commissioner David Stern:
Although testing performed by Spalding and the NBA demonstrated that the new composite basketball was more consistent than leather, and statistically there has been an improvement in shooting, scoring and ball-related turnovers, the most important statistic is the view of our players.
