Yeah, at least he's got hair now, unlike when he basically shaved it off.

And I can't look at the new basketball without thinking of Shaq demanding "whoever decided to change the ball" to be fired.

yeah...have you seen Shaq during a game, the guy sweats Gatorade coolers every minute, no wonder he hates the damn thing

The new ball looks cool for regular people to use in street games and stuff, but when it comes down to an NBA game..horrible idea.

Maybe the new ball will improve the Knicks shooting.....

i bet they start using the old ball by mid season at the latest.
