Self-awareness

The NYTimes has a piece on the new ball today...fascinating story.

Worthy of note is that Eddie Curry seems to have benefited from the change - he is putting up a career year posting numbers above his 5-year averages in points, rebounds and shooting percentage.

With results like these, I would predict Curry cheering Stern's move but Eddie joins the crowd: “The ball never leaves my hand the same way. It sticks to my middle finger. It bounces differently off the dribble and on the shot. I definitely notice a difference in the ball, but all my complaints won’t change a thing.”
