Really Neat Basketball!!

Although this ball is kinda pricey, it is worth it because it is very well made and its just like the pros use!!

First Time Trying A Genuine Leather Ball

Got this ball and it does feel stiff and slippery at first, but I am sure with break in, I will fall in love with this ball!

Perfect Grip And Great Feel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very impressed with the overall quality of this product. The grip is excellent and feels secure even during intense use. The texture provides great control without being too rough, and the material feels durable and premium. Inflation was easy and it holds air consistently without losing pressure. The weight feels well-balanced, making it comfortable to handle for extended periods. Overall, this product exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Great Feel, Questionable Valve ..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 2nd Wilson NBA ball after my first one had a failed valve after just two and a half years of light use. I think it's lame that this product only has a one year warranty, but I figured I would give it another try. I have owned both Wilson and Spalding balls that have lasted well over a decade before completely wearing out. Hopefully this new ball will win back my affection for the brand. Most people at my gym have the less expensive Evolution ball and seem to have no issues. I have always been good about using a valve and needle lubricant that is Glycerin based. I recommend that anyone reading this review always use a valve safe lube as well.

Great All Around!

PERFECTT BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! This was the best of the best

Great Ball!

Purchased as a holiday present for our grand son He loves using this ball during basketball practice with his team

Bad Grip

Paid too much for me to stop and put it up. I tried breaking it in for months now. There is no possible way this ball can have grip. It so slippery, And collects dust easily. Its not even worth 40 bucks. When i take it to the court it just sits in the corner. Nobody wants to play with it. I bought the rotation tracker ball and its much better. I recommend the nba authentic series over the offical ball.

Perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great ball! My kids are starting to play basketball and this is the perfect indoor ball once it is broken in.

Excellent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The perfect basketball. Nothing beats the real thing. Wilson makes amazing basketballs. If you’re in the market for a great basketball this is the ball you want l.

It Has A Nice Bounce And Grip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Leather material is great, just needed to be broke in.. Needs to play multiple times before you see the actual quality. the more you use it the more it become more nice. But i like the bounce of it.

Great Features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Little grip until broken in, 1st ball I purchased deflated after about a month or so Wilson provided a voucher to replace the ball, new ball came In less then 2 weeks, great quality that’s all me and my son work out with. Material drys your hands and leaves cuts on it. Still breaking it in. Perfect weight

Wilson V Spaulding

Shipping was fast and Dick’s had the best deal on this ball. Coming from the authentic Spaulding that was leaking air but the Wilson version is already better because it has a far superior bounce. Hopefully this thing holds air through the break in 🤞

The Nba Game Ball

I just play with the nba game ball it feel stiff at the moment but as soon start playing with it. The ball becomes great later on. I loves this basketball. 5 out of 5 for me
