most basketballs stink. just look at the nba's problems. i spent some time trying out different balls after realizing i needed a new one. this ball is by far the best one out there. the feel is amazing, the grip is perfect, and the handling precise. do not buy another basketball if you want a high quailty game ball. i tried the nba composite, nba leather, spalding T1000 (or similar priced version), and the other wilson ball (i can't remember the name). this ball was far and above the right choice. 5 stars

I bought the official NBA ball, and no one liked it. Wherever I take this ball, people want to play with it. It has great grip and feel. If you are going to buy a quality ball for indoor use, get this one! 5 stars
