I think that the ball being too sticky could turn out to be a huge problem because it could stick right to a players' hand when it is wet and they cannot shoot the ball at all if that happens because it wouldn't be able to come out of their hands without a little bit of assistance. Other than that, though, the ball does not look too bad. In fact, I think it looks so much better than the other ball they have used for 35 years. The NBA should try the new ball out for this year, and if they get complaints from a majority of the players that it stinks by the end of the season, then they should consider going back to using the old ball again.
