As much as PETA sucks...

[Anton Djamoos]

They just completely owned the entire NBA. (http://blog.peta.org/archives/Letter%20to%20NBA.pdf)

[Serenity]

hahahah I saw this earlier...

[xbrokendownx]

gay.

[Drew Beringer]

It makes no sense to switch, NBA players need to stop being pussies. FG% and scoring is up!

[Spicoli hey bud]

please eat tasty animals?

Why doesn't it make sense to switch? Most of the players were clammering for the old ball and Stern would rather do that then relent on the no tolerance rules on the tech. fouls.

[tambo41187]

this is funny, god the nba sucks.

[Zeran]

a lot of that letter is true.

[looksthatkillbn]

fuck peta. obnoxious fucking bastards. if they were even slightly respectful to anyone they may get a point across.

[AP_Punk]

I prefer the ALF

[Ratherbedead22]

hahah the last paragraph is good.

[hockey0001]

people for eating tasty animals

[Drew Beringer]

But everything is improved, the ball just goes in the hoop lol. Sure it's a piece of shit, but if FG% and scoring (I think) are up.

well, i thought that it was funny.

but it's not significantly up, though. It's not like there's tons of 130-128 games this year, so I don't see a problem with going back to the old ball. Personally, I don't care either way.

Also, I think Turnovers are up, but I'm not positive on that. And if they are, again, it's not up significantly.

exactly

[rcrook]

players are cutting their fingers on the ball, most of them point guards. it makes total sense to go back to the old ball.

[FondestMemory]

It makes no sense to switch, NBA players need to stop being pussies. FG% and scoring is up!

it made no sense to switch in the first place.

stern fucked this one up pretty badly.

[fcknazisympathy]

Fuck PETA, they spend more money on propaganda then they do on actually saving animals.

[dekdog11]

haha that is great

[preppyak]

"In the meantime, we wish the NBA luck in its search for leftover leather basketballs—judging by the reaction of some players, it seems like balls are in pretty short supply around the NBA these days."


Hahaha, they just got Edgar Allan Pwned....

bahahhahahhaha

[leftstranded]

brilliantly written

and also to take a phrase from what steve nash said. how would payton or brady feel if they switched to a nerf ball at the begining of the season, and than midway through the season(when they just got use to it) they desided to switch back.

if your going to switch, than announce that your going to do it after the finals. and give them the entire summer to get aquanted with the old ball again

[FondestMemory]

you don't have to get aquainted with a ball you've played with you're entire life.

[Drew Beringer]

At least we can conclude to this: David Stern is a bitch and a horrible commissioner.

[thatwasamoment]

good letter.

its a shame peta sucks balls though.

[rosematter]

I seriously hope that letter isn't real. For an organization that is the recipient of millions of dollars in donations a year, I'd hope they be a bit more responsible in what they write, and a bit more tasteful also.

[livethesounds]

aaaand nobody in the nba will care.

[Drew Beringer]

It's real, at least they were talking about it like it was real on PTI.

[rosematter]

Wow, seriously I was looking at the URL trying to see if it could have been a phony one and whatnot, because that letter is that ridiculous.

I can't wait until I start an organization for a decently good cause, and then ruin it by being the most poorly-run and out of touch group ever.

Wow, seriously...wow.

[sweethypocrisy]

yeah, because all murder of cows stopped when the nba switched, because nba basketballs are the only use for cows. fuck peta, i dont support eco terrorism.

[livethesounds]

thats exactly what it is.

[YourMusicSucks]

Lmao.

It never said that, you may want to read the whole thing again.

i hate peta as much as the next guy, but everyone needs to lighten up here.

Yeah, really takes a long time to get aquainted with a better ball that you've been using 95% of your entire life.

Please. if the same thing happened in the NFL brady and manning would be ELATED to go back to the old ball. That excuse is weak sauce and steve nash, a hater on the new ball, should shut his mouth because he's getting what he wanted in the first place. So he needs to quit talking.

[mikeford]

steve nash is a f.aggot.

[Broken Parachute]

How can the NBA let PETA own them? hahaha this is great.

LeBron PWNED

"Or LeBron, maybe you're interested. The NCAA has used composite balls for years. So, it's not just an education you missed out on.."

Haha...seriously...the reality is that nobody cares what PETA says about the NBA's choice of basketball (or pretty much anything they say anymore), but you have to admit that the letter is fucking hilarious for what it is...

[Talib Scottie]

He's right, I used a composite ball in High School and I have the very same Nike Basketball Carolina and Wake Forest use in their games, and it's a composite ball.

and I thought Lebron was one of the few who said the ball was fine.

[Talib Scottie]

steve nash is a f.aggot.

Haha, but he has one hell of a cover up wife.

[Adeniz19]

is the nba planning on switching back to leather? i havent watched a basketball game all year haha

[looksthatkillbn]

Haha, but he has one hell of a cover up wife.

he's still the ugliest man alive.

[notoaststereo]

pwnd

[uh oh smmoreo]

Ahahaha. The people running PETA are a bunch of cocks, but that was hilarious.

[justinevans]

hahah that is pretty funny.
