Has anyone used the new NBA game ball?

We play with it this league Im in on on sundays.  The ball is dope IMO.  Feels great, bounces great, NEVER gets wet or slippery.  I dont know what all these guys were complaining about.

I did, and the feel of leather is still better and roles off the fingers much nicer...PeACe

I thought the ball was really good.  Maybe I just expected it to be alot worse considering all the players who thought it was shit.

Have you played with an official leather ball? And if so, did you prefer it to the leather ball or did you simply "like it"?

does the new ball feel like it bounces differently or is it just me?

Yes... the other ball bounced higher off the floor, but this one bounces higher from rim contact...PeACe

Of coarse I have played with an official leather ball.  Im just saying, for all the negative hype around the new one, I thought it was pretty good.  I can see how it has it advantages over the old one.  Both have a different feel tho, just expected the new one to be total crap.
