And just an fyi, all the balls are broken in prior to games or use in practice. They NEVER use them straight out of the box. It takes a long time to break in a leather basketball.
NBA balls usually take 3-5 months of daily play in nba practices before they game-ready. They can take up to 6-12 months for the average person to break in. They do change color and the feel changes dramatically. If you look at an nba game ball, whether on eBay or from pics in real life, they look like sh**. They’re usually scuffed, scratched, and everything. As a shooter, I don’t really believe any ball is inherently better for shooting than another. I think we just become more accustomed to certain balls (ayo) and so when a new one comes we have to change our muscle memory slightly. Most NBA players never want to play with a composite leather ball like the Wilson evolution, and most average hoopers never want to ball with anything but an evolution (or previously Spaulding TF-1000).
I agree with everything you saying. I have 3 of the Spalding NBA balls and only 1 truly broken in and there is a Major difference between all 3. I’ve had the Wilson Ball and it was a lot better out of the box. Haven’t broken it in yet but it’s getting there. Also with any leather ball you have to get it sweaty and they only get better the more games you play. Once you play leather composite just doesn’t do it.
@@JBossDaBanger They do bro, it takes time and your effort to get it broken in. Wet yours hands with water nd dribble it and repeat when your hands dry up from the ball soaken the water in, helps breaks in faster. Moisture is what the ball needs to soften the leather so it can have more grip, just takes your effort to get it to that point.
@@JBossDaBanger it does, i had got an official spalding nba ball for my birthday in 2018 and it fucking sucked the first 2 months until it started to break in, 4 years later the ball is perfect lol
I've had a Spalding official ball for a while but it hasn't had much use because friends have found it similar to the Wilson - hard and rough. Recently I decided to wear it in artificially. I let some air out of it and used it as a back roller for a few weeks to move the leather and take out the stiffness. I stripped the coating with acetone and then treated it a few times with Leather Honey which softened it a lot (maybe two days between applications). Lastly I've applied some dubbin a couple of times and now the ball feels soft and much smoother. It's really a lot better.
Once it breaks in after a couple months the shit is amazing ! Since their new most of them haven’t been broken in yet. Just like the Spaulding. When I got mines it was ass until it was broken in !
I like the bounce of the Spalding far better than the Wilson. Even the new Model M from Spalding has that identical perfect snappy bounce that the NBA ball had. The Wilson to me is great, except for the sluggish return bounce, even at 9 psi. Sometimes you just don't know where it's going to go. A shame because I like the ball aside from that, but still think the Spalding NBA (U code ball) beats it out.
@@AllinOne-dg3dkhe was lying he bought the $25 dollar knock off version from walmart. thats why the box was white. the official whistle real leather ball comes in a black box inside another black box..... look around on TH-cam theres unboxing videos. the walmart one come in a cheappo white carboard box ?
McCollum is right they've been using the spalding for years now and switching to another ball isnt easy, the wilson ball is good ones they get used to it
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't everyone switched to Wilson evolution because they just discontinued the tf-1000? They're both similar in feel so it don't matter in the end.
Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway! More to come so subscribe and press the bell to know when I drop! Also do you think you could beat a pro hooper in a 3 point shootout? LMK!
Not to question y’all’s intelligence but this is literally the SAME BALL as the Spalding Ball. Same manufacturer and material. The only difference is the brand of the ball. Because Wilson doesn’t MAKE the balls, they sponsor them. The company that made the basketballs for Spalding are still making them but for Wilson.
Honestly if you don't mind paying 50$ every few years, I would recommend the Wilson evolution as it work pretty well outside even though it's a indoor ball
I bought the Wilson Outdoor/indoor signature series ball and it sucks big time...ZERO BOUNCE ZERO BOUNCE !!! I deflated it and inflated again...the sound is hollow...the only thing I like is the material they used...btw that little midget took me by surprise he can shoot 3 pt
@@teo10s I have all three balls now the evo next Wilson evolution and the nba ball and honestly I haven’t used any outside and wouldn’t plan to. I’ve used others evolutions outside and tbh it wasn’t bad jus damages the ball much quicker. But if I were to choose one for outdoor I think the evo next would be the best suited hope that helps
Also, too much arm on those shots dude...it should be one smooth motion from low to high to release...smooth is strength and strength is distance and distance is what slow guys need to get good looks
r u really a baller???that genuine leather ball must be broke in first for a considerable amount of time before it wud maximize its potential as a pro ball..lmao..unsubs

I think personally for shooting the nike elite balls are better than most, but i’m getting an evo ball so i’ll try it out
There’s a reason 3 pt % has dropped this season.
for me EVERY ball feels way better after “breaking in” doesnt matter leather or rubber ball
Gotta let it break in first, then its gonna be amazing
They say that about spalding and it never did I really don’t think they sell us the same shit as the nba players frfr

It becomes better as the ball gets beat up due to constant use. 🙂
@@JBossDaBanger facts
Break it in first....took me a few months with the spading ball, but it's great now.
I don't know why the NBA insists on a ball that is inconsistent and expensive when there are cheaper basketballs that feel good out of the box.
the on in this video is $25 at Walmart

You have to break in the leather ball. But the Spalding leather ball is perfection when it’s broken in. I have both and I’d rather use the Spalding.

The wilson doesn't bounce any different. It's not just gonna go a different direction off the dribble@@TheTigress

Dope video! $200 is crazy. Def wanna try this new NBA ball out so let Jacquil hold it down for pick up this summer lol
290 dollar! this is absolutly crazy..

It hasn’t broken in 😂 that’s when the magic starts
I remember how NBA players hated the latest Spalding official ball. So….you will never please them🤷🏻♂️
please them? this is their job. so, if you're given an insufficient tool to do your job, you will have some complaints, too. SMH.

The basketball player homie was chill!
Hope you bring back sometimes fake vs original shoes comparison
Why are these balls so much more expensive compared to composite leather when the real leather probably costs almost nothing really?
Moms or Sister definitely funny asf
I'm HS we used the evolution ball , in college it the schools ball , postseason it's a Wilson ball
i only play outdoor is there any balls you would recommend?
Honestly if you don't mind paying 50$ every few years, I would recommend the Wilson evolution as it work pretty well outside even though it's a indoor ball

It was my first nba ball I bought it 1 week ago without knowing it was new it is amazing Indoors and outdoors btw
This is Not a outdoor ball so dont use it outside

@Nino Maometto mine says outdoor/indoor
you need to break it in first
All the players used a Wilson in college so I don't see what the issue is.... 🤷🏾♂️
200? I’m not even spending 60 on a ball
Ong😂
@@Demonutzz the one shown in this video is $25
You never broke it in
After your grandpa said that I couldn't handle the powerful words and chose to listen to that wise man.
yeah the the new Wilson NBA is played well
My name is Evan to let’s go!
can you give me the link to buy this wilson ball please . good video in passage
Spalding started manufacturing basketballs in 1876. Wilson in 1946.
Wilson makes great footballs, but I think Spalding edges them out on basketballs.
wilson has changed the game in terms of basketballs tho
@@lite787 bro thats so true i have the same ball now its on fire bro i am hitting 3 s like its nothing
What's the difference between this ball and the replica version
leather material
The replica game ball is made from composite leather and the real game ball is made from real leather
The ball is okay. It's not as good as the sparting. But it is okay.
Keep up the good work one day I think you're gonna get to 1 million subscribers.
love this video
FG, 3P and FT % have all gone down since the new ball has been introduced
who else notice everytime he follows through with his shot he makes it
Bruh I just bought this ball in the mail 😂😓
cat hair sweatshirt... those leather balls are supposed to get broken in for 2 or 3 months. can't judge em before that
Real leather needs to be broken in for months. Save your money go Evolution
I bought the Wilson Outdoor/indoor signature series ball and it sucks big time...ZERO BOUNCE ZERO BOUNCE !!! I deflated it and inflated again...the sound is hollow...the only thing I like is the material they used...btw that little midget took me by surprise he can shoot 3 pt
Spalding just feels better overall
For me the Spalding bounces better. The Wilson has a sluggish and flatter return bounce even overinflated to 9 psi.
It's a nice looking ball...sections between the black stripes is way too thick
The ball even gets darker
Why can’t I like this video 😭😭 what’s going on TH-cam 😭😭
Its not the ball you need to break it in so it could feel better to shoot and dribble
I would like to know at what pressure should I inflate my wilson official game ball please?
It's on the ball. I think 7psi
Why u flinch in the beginning of the video 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
fire content bro
This hole vid is just them making excuses
Where can we get an official Spalding Ball brotha ?
Spalding what is the best ball and also it is last name
I regret buying this ball, it's on my profile. But I can't return it for a replacement. Even though I feel like it lost its grip quickly. Mmm
tell me where you can buy this ball, with delivery to Russia. for any money.
0:44 HE GIVING HIM HE-D?
Lol 🤣 😆 😂 😹 🤣
Where did you buy it?
17:20 no cap though I have wondered if there was some type of magnet system or flight controls that are used in nba... especially bank shots
He got ptsd from the basketball hitting him
Hey , I want you to do something positive that makes you happy 😊 today 🙏🏽💗
You too man
even Evan has a girlfriend
Wilson Evolution still my favorite haven’t tried this one or the evo next yet def want to know the difference between composite and real leather balls
I don't know know if you'll see this, but how is it outdoor? I know that is indoor but I heard a lot of people use it also outdoor
