I wonder whats inside?

Darko's mustache?

Maybe a monocle for Dick Bevetta, cuz he's oldschool.

Larry Brown's cape (http://www.stanthecaddy.com/the-cape-guy.html).

Mark Cuban's fine money to finance new Dairy Queens at every NBA arena.

My list of possible things in the Black Box:

- perhaps a new colored Basketball
- Gary Coleman with a "Bring back the Defense" shirt, "What you talkin' bout Stern!"
- Chauncey's Jumper
- Introduction of a new basketball team, Okalahoma City????
- David Blaine attempting to hold his breath until Dwayne Wade gets called for a charge going toward the basket
- Lee357 with a throwback Rodney White jersey and three binders of Pistons lineup combinations (Lee's a character..but he's OUR character so you gotta love em')
- An eerie Max Headrum like virtual Commissioner Stern that will give each arena a friendly public service annoucement prior to each game
- wired jerseys for all NBA players so that the fan is even closer to the action
- Michael Jordan's number is retired across the league

Don't you mean his escape goat?

I don't see Lee with binders. Blinders, maybe. I'm thinking Big Chief tablets with a bunch of other notes scrawled in them.

what about a basketball w/a camera on the edge? might get kind of dizzying...lol

It probably is a new basketball. Maybe not with cameras or whatever you said though.:)

It a crappy mind controlling marketing device. After you look at it once you wander out to the store and buy Wade, Kidd, and Bryant jerseys.

That's what I think it is.

Either that or Dennis Rodman.

I'm pretty sure they must already have one of those. How else to explain?

It`s thousands of pairs of 3D type glasses that we will be encouraged to be worn while watching an NBA games. One pair for TV and another live.

It will not be discovered until late next year that wearing these glasses prevents one from seeing the fouls that the refs miss, thus eliminating the controversy of superstar fouls or the lack thereof.....

Someone mentioned these glasses I think on the Shock game thread...........

It's a new designed basketball. Looks very nice:eyebrows:, and it has more grip. This will help Ben Wallace David Stern.

Click the link on the first post and it will show you a new article:).

Well, since I was the first one to mention a basketball, I guess I will unofficially crown myself the "Blackbox guess" champion. Please hold your applause. ;)

I was really hoping for the 3D glasses though. :)

What's in the black box? It's . . . a marketing opportunity! The NBA wants to sell you something! :jaw:

Maybe Stern has cloned a midget that looks like him to jump outta the box.

We shall call him "Mini-Stern"

Ben will have an easier time finishing around the rim since this ball has 33% more grip at least:). Lets hope he does it here though:fingerscr.

All jokes aside.

I definitely will be buying one. I wonder if it comes with the built in air pump, like my other ball. I'll give a review once it comes in!

On second thought...one hundred bills for a basketball????

They must be smokin' that oooh weeeee!

What?!! They stop making them out of leather, and then want to charge $100 bucks? :doh:

Micro fiber my butt.

$100 for one ball? No thanks. I'd rather use that money to tip off the refs.

Wait a month and the price should drop. It just came out so its extremely expensive. I like the ball though:eyebrows:.

This sounds like a recent conversation I had with my urologist.
