This is just way too funny. Neither this nitwit nor his PETA handlers did not realize that he was holding a round mass of ex-pig?

Just another reason to not watch the NBA.

Displays the utter cluelessness with which these idiots approach life.

There are some who say that the human species is diverging into two separate branches...could be true - meat eaters and vegetarians. Which will rule the earth, the omnivore or the herbivore?

I believe the NBA switched to all man-made materials for their basketballs. I found their press release about it. It includes a photo, which does not look like this one. Maybe somebody can clear up the confusion.

Secondly, if so, then who are the Muslims that play pro-ball? There has to be several.

I’m not big on wearing fur as I love animals. Fur does have its uses though and I’m not going to attack others for choosing to wear it. That said, at least making animal skin into clothing to protect ourselves is more useful than making animal hide into a basketball for recreation. Just sayin’...

He is holding a Spalding TF-1000 HzO which is not a leather ball...according the spalding website

"The cover of this ball is made from our exclusive ZK® microfiber with full-ball pebbling for incredible grip"

A mere $74.99

So I take it we are to start hunting basketball thugs for their skin to make our garments?

Damn that would be one butt ugly coat.

Reminds me of the story my dad told of WWII when American POWs with nice tattoos were turned into lampshades.
