Looks fine to me. Nothing ever beat the street ball that Pizza Hut sold a decade or more ago. Great ball right there.

You've got to be kidding me. Who would spend a bill on a ball?

Wow, u brought back memories. I remember all of my buddies going to play at this outdoor court that was really bad. No one would bring their good basketballs, so we always packed the Pizza Hut ball because we didn't give a **** what happened to it.

The same parents who buy their kids $380 aluminum bats and $250 baseball gloves.

Time to buy up the short-timer current official ball and get them signed by Michael, Magic, Bird, Shaq.....

The recreational player will really like the new NBA ball because it won't become anywhere near as slick as the old NBA ball.

a good glove is certainly worth $250

I paid $170 for a Nokona softball glove a couple years ago. It's amazing.

Usually you get what you pay for, but it's a friggin rubber ball.

A good glove certainly is a worthwhile purchase for the high school player or a 13-14-year old full-time travel player. My comment was meant towards the parents that buy their 10 & 11 year olds high-line equipment.  I live in an affulent area and I shake my head when I see an 11-year old with a Wilson A2000 or A3000  or a Rawlings Pro Preferred Glove playing in a park district sponsored league.  That's just nuts.  A $60 glove should be more than good enough until they're ready to move up to a 90-foot base diamond.  Too many parents think that expensive equipment will automatically make their kids better players.

Same parents who will spend several thousand on golf clubs when a set from Wal-Mart and a whole bunch of lessons would do them more good.
