Rockets owners wife to blame for new NBA ball?

Monday, December 04, 2006

Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander's wife Nanci, an animal-rights supporter, could be behind the NBA's switch to a new unpopular official game ball, according to talk show host Joe McDonnell of AM 570 KLAC in Los Angeles.

Nanci Alexander was able to sway, her good friend, David Stern's wife into talking the NBA commissioner into replacing the leather ball with an animal free microfiber composite, that's the rumor going around the NBA as McDonnell reported.

Leslie and Nanci Alexander are among the global animal-rights movement's biggest financial backers. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals even acknowledged the couple in 1998 for making "one of the most generous gifts we have ever received."
