NBA Black Box

[KDawg295]

on nba.com there is a pic of a black box with the nba logo on it. The site says that Commish David Stern will open the box on draft day.

The site says:
On June 28, NBA Commissioner David Stern will introduce the NBA's newest employees, as he announces the Class of 2006. Before that, however, he will unveil the contents of the black box below -- sure to change the way you see the game. Check back Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. ET to see what's in the black box.




So what do u think is in the box?... i'm thinking maybe a new basketball with different colors?..

sure to change the way you see the game

Hmm, a new camera?

[Silas]

Maybe it's Latrell Spreewell? Or Chris Anderson and Cliff Robinson's weed? Nuts for Reggie Evans?

Maybe its a piece of paper that says no more flopping so that Jason Collins, Reggie Evans, and Manu Ginobili can go home.

The post above me is why I can partly relate to what GloveGuy was complaining about.

goin with wat jackal said.. that's true it could be a camera.. or maybe an instant replay booth like in the NFL?

[Riot]

How do you fit an instant replay booth in a little box?

[hammertime23]

Haha maybe it's going to look like just a ball but there's really a camera in the ball. Lol it would be an interesting camera angle.

[Silas]

It could be a picture of an instant replay booth.... All though why such a big box then?

[Jing]

The NBA apparently is getting a new ball, the box may be just that.

[KDawg295]

no its not a new ball the article just says until its open everyone is assuming its a new basketball.

"But until then, everyone else is likely to speculate that the NBA is unveiling a new official ball that will replace the current one in the NBA. "

[hammertime23]

Well it still could be a new ball, I hope it's sick.

You also can't say "no it's not a new ball"
it hasn't been revealed yet, you can't can't definetively say it's not a new ball.

I clearly said "the box may be just that"

hmm looks familiar

[The Other Kevin]

How does a new ball change the way the game is watched? People think that they're in Europe?

[Silas]

Well I guess that one was cracked pretty fast... lol

[Omer]

Kinda obvious, it's the new ball.

[hammertime23]

Haha yea that was a bad surprise. haha

[BIG GREEN]

Maybe its a bunch of rule changes on a peice of paper that will bring the quality of the game back to how it was in the 90's.

hahaha, my loaded friend just spent like $200+ on an official NBA basketball like last week. I don't see how a new ball would change the way we look at the NBA.

It may not change the way we look at the NBA, but it will get ratings up for the draft

[hammertime23]

Well most people going on nba.com will watch the draft anyways but it could get some new viewers.

[Jackal]

How silly is that. What was wrong with the usual ball that didn't look X-Men like?

[-Young Buck-]

the ball better have david sterns face on it, but then more players are likely to kick it into the stands.

new ball design looks dumb.

[K0beStar]

maybe a midget ref will crawl out of the box?? that could change the way we look at basketball sortof...
