Who: The NBA, and the scientists in Texas.
What: A new synthetic basketball has been developed that may be better than the leather basketballs used in the NBA.
When: November 8, 2006
Where: Texas
Why: The NBA and scientists from Texas tested the new platic like basketball compared to the old leather ball to see which one was better.
My Opinion:
In my opinion, I think that the NBA should just stick with the old leather ball because when the leather balls gets all sweaty when the basketball players play the game, it gets much stickier and bouncier. But when the leather ball is dry it is not as sticky or as bouncy as the synthetic basketball. The NBA doesn't know whether they should try a new basketball or keep the old one because they both have some negative effects but complaints have started to come up from the leather basketball. I think they should still keep the leather basketball until the entire NBA starts complaining.
