The new, two-piece, synthetic microfiber ball has created quite a stir all season and Commissioner Stern has decided to scrap it for several reasons. Like the fact it becomes slippery when wet, sticks to the rim and actually dries out players' hands to the point they suffer cuts from using the ball. Although you don't hear from them as much, several players like using the new ball, so they'll have to learn to get accustomed to the leather version again. Paul Pierce was the player representative when the new ball was introduced in in a press conference last summer, when he predicted turnovers would be down this season because of the two-piece model.Dec. 11 - 4:46 p.m. ET
