Leather is on its way back!

    well at least the players union did something for the players. I guess Stern does want the law suit to stick around, if only he had of listened at the start of the season.

    Now I hope they still fight for the zero tolerance rule and don;t stop at this. David has not even brought up that part of the suit so I ‘d like to see what happens from here.

    Do you think they will really have to adjust to the original ball??? Because now they have been using the new one!

    I don’t know how I fell about this. I mean I thought they should have asked the players what they wanted from the start, and I think they should go back to the new ball, but i hope it doesn’t effect how things are going right now for certain teams and players.

    why change the ball in jan shouldn’t they just start with the old balls now so they don’t have to re adjust to the old balls. I just dont get david he said he was doing nothing this season but I guess the union really has something on him and he was in the wrong, oh how this looks good on him
