good outdoor ball . . . Sep 05, 2008
By trebe For an outdoor basketball, grip, durability and balance, are probably the most important considerations. Spalding's `Street' basketball ranks pretty high in those key departments. You get a nice firm grip, the durability of the pebbled finish seems to be pretty good, and you get a nice bounce on various types of hardcourts. The grip may not be as good as Spalding's NBA `Legacy' ball, but it is very close. Like many outdoor type balls, it may feel a little heavy on an indoor court. It's reasonably priced, so if you need an outdoor ball, you really can't go wrong with this one.

Excellent Rubber Basketball for Outdoor Play Sep 29, 2007

Ball is well constructed and comes well packaged. Seems durable as well. Note that this is a rubber ball and therefore will be rougher on the hands than an indoor leather ball. I'm happy with it.

Defective Items Jun 16, 2009
By Thang Q. Nguyen I'd just bought two of these basketballs from Amazon.com. They're rubber but look good. they were deflated upon arrival, so I got them pumped up and ready to play with my kids. The ball has good grip. However, I was very disappointed when they both deflated within an hour of playing time. I tried to pump them up and left them there inside the house to see how long they'll get deflated... It's not very long, within an hour, they were deflated liked when they arrived... I'm very disppointed. I'm hoping that I can replace them with the better one.
Thanks Amazon.com for it's great returning policy. I got the replacements within a couple of days. However, again one of the ball that came defective again. It couldn't hold the air and deflated within hours... I might have to return it for the second time. But for the one that works, it's a great outdoor ball. It has a good grib and good bounce. It doesn't get dirty easily if you take care of it. Cleans it with a wet cloth after playing and it looks as good as new. It's a great ball for under $20. I could have given it five stars if it didn't come defective.

A pretty good ball Nov 08, 2009

My son gave me this for my birthday and it's been used a couple times a week on asphalt, sun, rain, and snow and still looks new. The grip is excellent and it feels close enough to a leather ball that you won't be freaked out by the difference.
Let's be honest, you need a decent quality basketball for when friends come over or when you step outside and address the 4 for 56 three point shooting streak you are on. You could use the Spongebob Squarepants basketball your kid bought at Wal-Mart or you can ask for a decent looking Spalding basketball. I would go for the Spalding. Even if you can't knock down the outside shot or defend anyone, at least you look good coming and going from the game.

good basketball Jan 08, 2011
By hikerette I bought this basketball for my 12 year old nephew who plays in a club team but also practices a lot in outdoor courts. He really enjoys the basketball. He uses it mostly outside at the park court. He perfers to use a different one when playing inside court, but he says it's okay indoor as well. He's had it for a few months now leaving it outdoors sometimes in the Arizona heat but it's held up so far. It was a very good price and would buy again if we need to replace it.
