We've been down this path before David. SMH. I expect to change back to the regular ones in a month or two.

"And just to bring things full circle, here's something else about that new rim: The new version has breakaway functionality on the sides, instead of just on the front. Watch for it on dunks coming from the sides of the basket."

If these are double rims, shooting percentages will plummet 3-4%. When my HS team had the chance to play a mini-tournament in Amway Arena, I remember the regular NBA rims being so soft and wishing we had those in our gym.

David Stern must have no life because I swear sometimes he changes things just to change them.
