Does anybody know anything about why the NBA is changing their ball to a non-leather ball?

Shaq's comments on the topic, which I just saw on SC, are hilarious. They're stupid, but funny.

Shaq's always been a baby. They'll get used to it.

"I don't like it, because it's different," Heat backup center Michael Doleac said. "You get used to something, you don't want to change it. ... But in three years, we'll probably all look back and not be able to imagine playing with anything else."

It's like touching an exotic dancer, then going touching a blow up doll. It feels different.
