New ball for NBL?
Pretty sure it will be the updated version of the Molten with much better grip.

I think its an interesting topic and it is basketball related after all. I bet you if this happened in the AFL there would be a story about it in the news, and plenty of discussion on forums like this.
It may not be interesting for everyone, and for those that don't care, you aren't forced to read this thread!

Wilsonnnnnnnnnnnnn!

I don't really care about the look of the ball. The problem I have with these balls is that they FEEL terrible. The old 8 panel Molten's were far superior in my opinion.

Agree with GWB on this one. I've never liked the "finding nemo" styled orange and white ball. Its not necessarily unprofessional looking, but rather too casual looking I think.
Its not to the extent that it has ruined the league or anything silly like that, but I think there is a more "serious" feel about the game and the league with a standard orange ball.
And the aesthetics of the game does matter. Sometimes lots of little changes like the colour of the ball can have an overall impact on the presentation of the league as a whole.

I'm not seeing how the NBL would have been less successful using a ball that wasn't ugly.
