Stern ordered the use of the microfiber composite ball starting this season. The switch caught a lot of players by surprise although the ball had been used in the last two All-Star Weekends and tested in summer action and the National Basketball Development League.

The proof is how the country has embraced Molten’s revolutionary 12-panel, two-tone basketball with a passion.
