NBA official Spalding Basketball
Date of Review: Feb 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would recommend using the Spalding ball to anyone that plays basketball all the time. It will help you in a lot of ways
The NBA official Spalding basketball is a really good basketball. The NBA has been using this ball for a really long time. This year they came out with a new ball and tried using it and after a couple months the player's didn't like it so they decided to go back to this ball. I think it is a good ball because it has good grip and doesn't get to slippery when people get sweat on it. The ball can get flat easier then some of the other balls that are sold in stores. People i know like to use the Spalding ball more then any other ball.
I have practiced with the Spalding ball and the new one that came out this year. I liked the new ball they came out with this year because it felt better on my hands and I think that it has better grip. I can see in many ways why most of the NBA players don't like the new ball. I don't know why that made a new ball, i think the players were fine with the Spalding ball they use now. The Spalding ball is working just fine for the player's right now and should just keep it till the NBA doesn't exist anymore.
