 Sucks May 20, 2010
James W. Wall
Unless you are trying to get it autographed, DO NOT BUY IT. Buy a Wilson Evo or a Vision basketball if you are trying to use it. I don't know if the NBA pre-treats their balls or not, but this thing was hard as a rock and felt super dry, no grip.
 NBA leather basketball May 15, 2010
P. W. boyko (Houston, Texas, US)
Although advertised as the real deal, has a feel that is unlike the many (30?) other leather basketballs I have purchased over the years. Almost feels like some type of imitation leather. This was noticed not by just me but by others that I have a regular game with three times a week. I have a feeling that I was duped on this one and may go back to purchasing future balls from the local sporting goods store here in Houston.
 GREAT ITEM - FAST SHIPPING - HIGH QUALITY - GREAT SELLER March 8, 2010
Hilary Lundgren (BARRINGTON, RI, US)
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS ITEM TO FUTURE BUYERS. THE SELLER WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO ME FASTER THAN SPORTS AUTHORITY OR DICKS SPORTING GOODS. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY BOYFRIEND AS A GIFT FOR VALENTINES DAY, HE LOVES IT!

12 years ago. 18 years old. Joined a gym that had a court. Never played much indoors up until this point so I just went through the balls they had to find which one I would like best. The ball I found had a deep brown color to it so I didn't know what brand ball it was. But it was the best ball of all time. I make so many of my shots with it. Dribbles great. Handles great. Have to lick my fingers for some tackiness and grip though, but no big deal. Actually liked it that way. I move away. I go back 12 years later. Ball is still there. STILL in good shape and GREAT to play with. I later find out that it is this ball. Well, I move away again. I seriously entertain the notion of stealing the ball for myself I love it this much. But I don't. I bought a new one on here. At first I was concerned about break in and stuff because after all, I had played with a well worn ball. And others expressed the need for this as well. I got it in the mail and it was a tad shiny like some coating was on it. A little nervous about it. I got some leather lotion to polish it and clean it. Did that a few times before I got to the gym. And I have to be honest. After shooting with this freaking AWESOME ball, I think I may like it just as much if not more than the one at old gym. Absolutely fantastic. I love to shoot and this ball seriously works for me. I love the way it feels on my hands, the sound it makes with that swish, the dribble, everything. I do know though and always noticed only a few played with the ball at old gym so I don't believe it is for everyone. But I can say I am very happy myself, all I want to do is shoot around for hours on in. THANK YOU Spalding!
Real Leather Basketball December 5, 2009

This is a great high quality basketball. Since it has a real leather cover it is strictly for indoor use. I own 8 basketballs from various manufacturers including Nike, Wilson, and Belden and this one is by far my favorite. My second favorite is the Wilson Jet game balls. I bought if on sale for $68 and am extremely satisfied.
