The ball seems to be authentic. It is different than i expected though. I have two authentic NBA game balls and the feel like plastic when new. This one feels less plastic but it doesn't absorb sweat the same as the NBA ones. I'm curious to see how it acts as is breaks in. One more odd thing is the ball feels smaller than the NBA one; just by a little bit.
Still holding judgment until i've got 3-4 months of use. If it breaks in well this will be a great ball.
Great ball but it is not the official it is a china ball.
It thought that I purchase the official game ball but it is not. This is a China ball but I had one and the quality is very good also it is better than some spalding balls in the best performance.
