The NBA basketball has gotten a serious facelift. Spalding and the NBA have created a new basketball for the 2006-2007 season. The ball is created with just two interlocking panels and utilizes Cross Traxxion technology which is a fancy way of saying that the ball has two panels that are cross shaped. They don’t ship until late October but you could still be one of the first on your block to be shooting with the same ball as D-Wade.

Anyone else gonna miss the old 8 panel ball that we grew up and learned to play the game with?

Available for $99.99 from the NBA
