the golden details on the Nike logo were actually already used in the Nike N-Touch 2000 competition, the old game basketball made by Nike in the early to mid-2000s
The best thing about the old Nike elite champion is it wasn’t as griot as the Wilson balls right away but as you play with it and start to sweat the balls got more grippy and softer
I feel you on the materials for the channel. I had a Wilson NCAA ball a few years back and they did it with the black fitted strips instead of the single one-piece channel and after about a year it was the strips of channel that started coming off.
Yeah eventually i will get it, but that $70 price tag is lil steep for a mostly rubber ball lol, i have to feel if its plush or can fool me to believing its more synthetic leather then rubber.
@@erickhenderson9795 yeah it has a lot more rubber on it but it feels nothing like rubber though. It’s soft like the Rock c2c and I’m willing to bid that this ball is going to be better than the evolution and the rock in term of quality because of the improved technology Nike put on this ball. But we will see on that, only time can tell. Black Friday and cyber Monday is only a few months away, so hopefully it is going on sale. I’m eyeing on a few unknown brands and waiting for them to go on sale so I can cop some on Black Friday, but last year BF didn’t have anything good.
Finally got my hands on my first ever indoor game ball, taking my Elite Tournament to the gym just to Surprise my friends on my #28 next Monday, holy moly right out of the box, an little bit deflated but that cover feels soft, it already looks like it’s about to perform good at the gym already, I want to thank my High school close friend Justin for helping me out, that was so important to me.
That is awesome! it is a nice ball. but remember don't put too much air on it. I played with other people nike Elite Champ that has too much air and it is not good, very bouncy and feel weird. but when i go back and played my mine with proper air inflated, it's nice and feel just right.
I was wondering what your top 5 indoor basketball list has become in the past few months. I have the elite championship 2.0 and I love it. What would you put above it?
Hey man, appreciate your channel! Great job! What's your oppinion on Nike elite tournament ball for only outdoor use (on concrete and asphalt court)? And what about the comparison with Wilson ncaa replica, which one would you reccomend regardless the price? Maybe some pros and cons of both balls?😊 Tnx in advance!
There is no best basketball. But I do have a few favorite basketballs that I like better than other balls. Baden Elite Nike Elite Championship 1.0 or 2.0 Adidas Pro 2.0 The Rock c2c Wilson Solution NCAA Official Game Ball Spalding NBA Official Game Ball Molten GG7X Wilson Wave Game Ball spalding tf-1000 legacy Wilson Evolution That’s the list of my favorite basketballs to play with and I have played with all of them and owned all of them. You cannot go wrong with any of these balls.
@@budstopseasyroadspence nah that list is for indoor used. I forgot to mention it on the reply. And outdoor balls I don’t have a good list because I don’t play basketball outdoor as much as indoor. But here is my list for outdoor balls I have played with and think it’s pretty good: Nike/Jordan hyper grip Spalding tf250 Spalding nba replica ball Wilson or molten 3x3 game ball Molten gm7x Adidas all court 2.0
If you like a typical feel basketballs then Nike Elite. If you like different feel basketball then adidas pro 2.0. I don’t know how to describe it but it doesn’t have that same feeling as Nike elite Baden elite, the rock c2c or the Wilson evolution.
for now i don't liek the ncaa nxt. Since 2023 started i been playing with the NCAA nxt more often but it seems like its not the ball for me. its very bouncy and very hard to get used to it. I think you could like the regular Evolution better the evo nxt.
@Everything Basketball thanks for the reply. I have evolution, baden element, spalding precision, adidas pro 2.0. I was thinking about getting a new ball. Maybe the Nike ball.
@@BrianO109 adidas pro 3.0 is way nicer than the pro 2.0. it's also very cheap when it's on sale. you could get it for like 35 to 45 USD. for that price and what you get out from the ball, it is the best deal.
Thanks bro. Personally, I like the elite championship 2.0 because it has better quality than the evolution. Plus, I feel like the evolution is outdated. It has been around for years and years. If the evolution fixed their quality control then maybe it’s a good pick but I feel like buying it online is like playing lottery, hoping that it’s gonna be a good quality. I mean don’t give me wrong, the evolution is a really nice ball, it’s the best selling ball in America for a reason. But The inconsistency of quality control of the evolution is the reason why I picked elite championship 2.0 over the evolution.
Has this become your favorite indoor game ball? Or baden elite still tops the list? Also Wilson is switching to the EVO Nxt for the March Madness tournament
I still like the Baden elite. This is Nike elite 2.0 is still too early to jump into inclusion, I don’t put enough time into it. If March madness ball is the evo nxt well I hope Wilson add some weight to it.
Looks nice! How is the softness compared to the Evolution? And what was the weight of the Evolution? You probably mention that in your other video but I'm being lazy lol. I want one but might wait til they're on sale or find a coupon.
Damn that stamped - in barcode BS is what makes me not want to buy this ball...or any ball with the stamped in barcode. I have the Elite Championship Airlock game ball (with no stamped in barcode) and still was using it this year before switching to some of my newer balls; the Evo nxt + myBall pinnacle ..both of which have no barcodes on them whatsoever! *The Adidas Pro 2.0 has a barcode (graphic printed on not stamped) that can be lightly sandpapered off with the finest grit paper if need be.
@@jimmywarren01 😆 bro, don’t make your purchase decisions based on barcode. I don’t know what to tell you about this ball because it is so new but so far so good though. I’m impressed with the grip and how the ball feel on hand. In term of performance only time will tell.
@@EverythingBasketballs Yeah I know..it's just annoying...I'm almost certain that you will like this ball if you liked the older ELITE Championship ball.
Nike True Grip or the Jordan Hyper Grip or the Wilson Authentic NBA Outdoor game Ball, it’s all up to you to choose which ever outdoor game ball you want.
I wish I can give u a good answer. I only have a few outdoor balls, I like the fiba 3x3 game ball, Nike ro Jordan Hypergrip and adidas all court 2.0, spalding tf250 and the cheapest option is spalding street phantom but it pretty bouncy.
i'll let you know later. imma take it to the gym later today and retest it for you. I haven't been playing with it lately. I'm trying to break in the Wilson NBA game ball.
Alright, I played with it for 2 hours today. Right away my first few bounces was indeed feel flat but maybe I expected this ball to bounce flat. After about ten bounces or so it felt normal to me. I also got the impression that the ball feel light almost like the the Wilson nxt. The grip feel dusty or ashy but I think the ball is still somewhat new.
@@EverythingBasketballs thanks for checking. Maybe i just need to play with it more as this is a brand new ball and i only played with it for 1 hour. Im so use to the rock at 8 psi bounce so and the bounce on the nike is like only half of that
You could use it outdoor but I won’t recommend it. This ball is being at pretty high level basketball so it is best to use it indoor to maximize it performance and longer life spans.
All NFHS approved basketballs like the Nike Elite Championship 2.0 or the Baden Elite Game Ball are strictly used for indoors only, you will kill the lifespan of an indoor ball once you use it outside. I’ve seen people using the Wilson Evolution Outside, big time mistake.
just got this ball and it feels really stiff and barely bounces, i'm used to elite ball's being soft and fun to play with but this one feels like a rock, any way to fix it?
Check your air pressure in the ball maybe u got too much air. The ball I got bounce well, I didn’t noticed any flat bounce. Give it a few more days of playing if the problems continues then return or exchange it, u might have defected ball.
One is full leather ball and one is micro composite leather, so they r kinda two different categories. Personally though, I would play with Nike elite championship over the Wilson nba. I like the softer feel basketballs and the Wilson nba has a firmer feel and for $200 I feel like the ball is not worth price.
So what do you think is the biggest difference between the 2.0 and the old ones? Much difference on the touch? Also in China we the same can only order this ball from some retail sellers, still not on Nike yet.
The material used on this ball is the biggest difference. So maybe it can last longer. Also the air valve is smaller. This ball most likely will not leak air as bad as the old one. As for now it is better than old one.
It’s cleaner build, newer technology, and most likely will last longer too. I knew that because I have the old Nike elite championship and it last longer than the rock. So I’m assuming the new elite championship will last long too. But I could be wrong too on that. Only time can tell. I don’t give me wrong, the rock is one of my favorite ball. I would rather pick the rock over the evolution. But between the Nike elite championship and the rock, I would go with the new Nike elite championship. If you are a big fan of the rock and been playing with it for years then just stick with that. But if you want to try something new then go with the Nike. Again, u can’t wrong with neither one.
@@uilnaga1497 depend on how often you play and the conditions of the court. But typically it should last 4 to 7 years if you play at least three times a week minimum of one hour each time. The issues I see with the rock in long term is the ball starting the lose air and the channel or the groove is starting to deteriorate and also the grip is getting worsen too but that issue is common with any basketball.
the golden details on the Nike logo were actually already used in the Nike N-Touch 2000 competition, the old game basketball made by Nike in the early to mid-2000s
i have that ball now i got it at Academy sports!

Lowkey was waiting for this, to determine should i get it, and to see the differences from the previous model
So are you going to get one?
Yeah eventually i will get it, but that $70 price tag is lil steep for a mostly rubber ball lol, i have to feel if its plush or can fool me to believing its more synthetic leather then rubber.

@@BrianO109 when it’s new it’s strange. After breaking it in it’s a great ball. Honestly I still think the Wilson evo is better, and only $5-10 more
Hey man i wanted to know, what’s the best outdoor basketball?
It’s hard for me to find a solid answer.
There is no best basketball. But I do have a few favorite basketballs that I like better than other balls.
Baden Elite
Nike Elite Championship 1.0 or 2.0
Adidas Pro 2.0
The Rock c2c
Wilson Solution NCAA Official Game Ball
Spalding NBA Official Game Ball
Molten GG7X

Specifically for outdoors though..?
Because i heard the Evolution should NEVER be played outdoors.

Oh this ball is insane! Whats better between this and the evo nxt?
