Lol. Durant just accidentally threw the ball of the back of the backboard when inbounding it. I don't think I've ever seen that before. There was no one around.
Just allow them to use an approved sticky substance and decrease the seam height on the ball. It'll all even out. Any substance they use to increase grip will automatically increase the spin rate.
When we had the "man in white" controversy, I always thought the team should have given white shirts to everyone in that section the next game and had them make all kinds of weird movements and signs out there.
Uhhh, so the right time to check is when the game doesn't matter and there's no obvious black mark on the brim of the hat?
