Review:

This is a classic basketball, well known by everyone for its genuine leather hide and the fact that its used in the most exclusive, most talented, most recognized basketball league in the world: the NBA.

This basketball is full-grain leather and is what the pros swear by. Keep in mind that this is an indoor-only basketball, as outdoor courts will quickly degrade the leather.

This basketball is a classic, and the only reason it doesn't get perfect ratings across the board is because it's a bit pricy at $100. Thus, I cannot bring myself to give it a perfect value rating, as comparable basketballs are available at half the price. You can now buy very high quality synthetic leather basketballs for $50, which provide much better value and similar performance on the court.
