Brian Scalabrine put on his investigative hat (and sneakers) and tested out the new NBA Wilson ball and how it compared to the old and standard Spaulding ball of what seems like forever. The NBA of course switched balls this season.
Some people have blamed the new ball for some shooting woes this year, like for example our very own Jayson Tatum's. But if the ball was an issue it would be across the board in the NBA, and not just one for certain players. No the Wilson ball isn't the culprit for Tatum. And Scalabrine actually ends up much preferring the new ball.
