You're right, maybe this time the percentages will go down with the rings, my point was made more towards the change of the ball there was 2 years ago, my point was that material change didn't necessarily mean negative in terms of the ability of someone, but maybe these rims will....

i hope it doesnt affect the players game. why need to change it anyway?

[Billy32]

Theres really no reason to change the rims. These rims look like your playground rims and the double rims I used to play on the were very springy and the ball either bounced off them or just went in and out.

Ones at my school used to be like double that size. They were pathetic. Then again, if you can shoot effectively on these rims you can shot the ball period. Guy in my year was like money for long range because he would practice on them a lot.

WTF?
These are horrible, I could buy better rings from Rebel sport. What is Stern thinking..

My point exactly! I used to hate these rims at the park, I couldn't make a damn thing (except a lay-up or two) ..lol.

stern is basically letting the players from the hood feel at home again since he took away their style of clothing with the dress code

[franciscogarcia]

was there a need to change the rims? is there any sense behind that? what does he expect to be happening? don't change it if it's not broken!!!!!!!

[Tha_Truth34]

No need for this B.S.

[xKSNMx]

i hate this fu**ing guy. that is all i have to say on this subject and no it is not just because of this.

I guess Stern hasn't got anything better to do and im guessing these rings cost more aswell due to more metal, so either way this is a very bad decision.
