Spalding basketball has been the official ball for NBA games for many years, but now the contract between Spalding and the NBA has expired, and the two parties have not reached a contract extension agreement. Starting next season, Wilson Will replace Spalding as the official ball of the NBA. Friends who play basketball know that these two brands are the best-selling basketballs.
Compared with Spalding, Wilson's hand feels better, because the surface is softer and easier for people with big hands to hold the ball. Spalding doesn't feel as good as Wilson, and it feels harder, but this kind of ball is more practical on outdoor fields. Wilson is more suitable for indoor floors, because this brand is a bit sticky, and a layer of ash will stick to it when used outdoors, which will affect the feel.
So what brand of basketball do you usually play? Both Nike and Li Ning have their own exclusive basketball brands. In recent years, Star brand basketballs have become popular, and Decathlon brands in outdoor venues are also very common. Which is your favorite?
