Leather is dead

The leather ball is now a thing of the past for the NBA.

In conjunction with manufacturer Spalding, the NBA on Wednesday introduced a new official game ball that will be used for the start of the 2006-07 season.

This is the first change to the game ball since 1970 and just the second in the last 60 years.
