Spalding NBA Game Ball Mini

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Teach your kids to dribble and shoot hoops from an early age with this Spalding mini NBA game ball. The ball feels just like a full-size NBA game ball, with a premium outdoor cover that provides a superior grip with every dribble. The ball also bounces better thanks to the Cross Traxxion two-panel construction. The panels result in 1/3 fewer channels, decreasing the surface undulation and helping the ball bounce truer and more consistent. And kids will love the official NBA game ball series graphics, which make the mini ball look just like the real thing.

Best Indoor Basketball
By Guest
I play basketball regularly, indoor and outdoor, in organized leagues, tournaments, in pick-up games, and for fun. I have played with many basketballs over the years, from Moltens to almost the entire line of Spaldings to almost the entire line of Wilsons. The Evolution is by far the best ball I've ever used. I have been using the Evolution that I currently own for over 7 years now, strictly indoors. It has always had superb grip, a wonderful soft feeling that you dont get with any other brands, and just great feel when it rolls off your fingers. In almost every open gym court I go to, where everyone brings their own ball, my Evolution is always the preferred ball picked by everyone to use.

great
By Nick
I love this ball it is the best indoor ball I have ever had the pleasure to play with. Way better than those infusions and other synthetic leather balls. The reason this ball is so great is because of the grip of the ball. Very soft in your hands, you feel in control the entire time. The ball will never get away from you. The grip also never deteriorates over time, that is unless you decide to use the ball outdoors. If your looking for a good indoor ball than this is the ball for you.

Best ball
By J. R. Mooney
This is the best basketball I've ever played with. It's reasonably priced, has a great feel and works indoors or out. It's got a grippy feel that actually seems to get better once it's been broken in a bit, so it actually improves over time. It's designed as an indoor ball, but works great on finished concrete courts. When I take it to my regular Saturday morning games, it's always chosen as game ball. It would likely get roughed up quickly on asphalt, but for the price, you can afford it. I've owned five in a row and wouldn't own any other ball.
