Deal Details
This is an indoor-only ball and was the previous NBA game ball prior to the recent switch to Wilson. It's an excellent deal for a basketball made of genuine leather.

Really, this is a deal? Who the heck knew an "official" ball costs so much.

What makes this better than the official sized Spalding and Wilson basketballs that are $20 at Target?

Outdoor balls are wrapped in rubber or tougher synthetic materials so they can last. Indoor-only balls, especially these NBA game-used balls, have much softer leather on the outside of the ball that gives a premium feel. Dribbling these balls outdoors will scuff and ruin them almost immediately.

NBA players probably use those $20 balls too, on occasion. They just wouldn't bring them into the workplace.

This is a great deal.

Interested buyers should watch the Spalding video "Behind Every Bucket ."

Those lower-priced balls you linked are not the same. That's like saying a base model car with no options on sale is the same or better deal as the top-of-the-line, full-optioned model on sale.

These used to be 99 at dsg and then 80 with coupon. I don't think this is any kind of real deal unless the price has exploded

LOL at the non hoopers suggesting a $20 ball is the same as an NBA game ball. I can't even fathom the hubris involved in being so ignorant and still deciding everyone needs to know your thoughts on the topic.

Generally available at $100. It feels heavier than a lot of the regular go tos- Evolution, 1000, etc.

Yes, they used to be a much more affordable retail price. That doesn't mean this isn't a "real deal" today.

Feels heavier or is heavier...my Evolution was 610 grams, but that's the highest I've weighed one, as most have been closer to 596-600 grams.

Indoor balls get very sweaty. The sweaty balls tend to get heavier. A lot of sweaty balls will feel slippery. However, balls in the NBA are actually more grippy when sweaty.

Just in case you weren't aware, Spalding is no longer the official ball of the NBA. Wilson is back as the official NBA ball

This is a great deal. It's within spitting distance of the Evolution and TF1000. This is a no brainer for anyone looking for a ~$60-80 ball.
