Re: Shaq says new ball is "terrible" <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I thought it was easier to palm? Being smaller and more grippy.</div> Read this today on dallasbasketball.com <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>First of all, the new ball sux. It's slick, difficult to palm, features a faded-orange color, and is rumored (according to Mavs gossip) to have less "give'' when shot off the glass. "I can't palm it,'' Jason Terry said, as he demonstrated just that. "It's too soft. It's too slick. It's like an indoor-outdoor ball. Man, I had one of those when I was 6. And I never used it, either.''</div>
Re: Shaq says new ball is "terrible" I guess I'll just take your word for it... not that big of a deal though
Re: Shaq says new ball is "terrible" <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I guess I'll just take your word for it... not that big of a deal though</div> Lol, nah man you don't have to take my word. I'm just reading what players are saying about them. I think were all get a better idea when it's on the market. Hopefully their not a ridiculous 40 bucks.

Re: Shaq says new ball is "terrible" Actually, everyone talks about what Shaq said, but his (unknown) teammate Michael Doleac said it best: You get used to something, you don't want to change it... But in three years, we'll probably all look back and not be able to imagine playing with anything else.'Shaq's a real dummy.
Re: Shaq says new ball is "terrible" whats he complaining about, he cant shoot anyway so its not like its gonna effect his game. I bet hes guessing hes stats are gonna go down anyway so now he has something to blame it on
Re: Shaq says new ball is "terrible" Wow shaq trying to get attention. Yeah those outdoor-indoor balls are terrible though. I have one so easy to grip. BUt mine gets slippery once we have sweat on it
Re: Shaq says new ball is "terrible" Charles Barkley in an interview says he hates the ball as well...and said he doesn't know why the hell they changed it.

Re: Shaq says new ball is "terrible" Even ben gordon said he doesn't like the new ball... Imma have to buy one and see what its about
Re: Shaq says new ball is "terrible" I read a blog from one of the Detroit writers who covers the Pistons training camp and he says many Piston players didn't like the new ball either. Maybe its one of those things when you have to actually get out and play a few games with it and take some time to get use to it a little bit.
