Which was a pointless waste of time AND money for a lot of people tongue

EDIT: Also, this is a brilliant move on the part of David Stern - he gets to point out that he's already given this concession to the players, which means his position is stronger in future complaints.

Are the new, er, old, er, synthetic balls still for sale? Maybe they will be an NBA Collector's Item someday.

I know they are still on sale where I am. I think I might go pick one up just because.

Yes you can still get them, that being said I think the ball needed to be changed but doing it midseason when everyone is getting used to it is idiotic. It should've gone back next year.

the suns are starting to practice with the leather ball, and have chucked the composite ball for their practices.

At least they were able to get a hold of the leather balls.

I think Stern has invited the controversy he's going to get from PETA. It would never have gotten such publicity, if he had never caved into them to begin with.
