Spalding NBA Varsity Basketball (Official) customer reviews:
Good Value Although it is true that this is a rubber coated ball, I found it very easy to grip and the ball plays great outdoors. Good value. False Advertising If you are expecting to get the basketball shown in the picture you will be very disappointed. They charge you and show you a $15 ball that is of very good quality but ship you a cheap $7 rubber ball.
I'm not the first to complain about this but they refuse to change the picture. If you read these reviews after you purchase the ball (like I did) then just return it for a full refund. Go to Wal-Mart and buy the ball in the picture for $15. Maybe if enough people do it they'll change the picture. What Can You Say About a Basketball? My son loves this. It's gotten tons of daily use since it arrived. Ever since he went from average height to about 6'6" in 5 months, he's totally into basketball. This was one of his favorite birthday presents...ummm...it arrived in new condition, was inflated, and fits in a hoop. At least that's what he tells me. ;)
If you are looking for a basketball, this is a good one. My 14 year old gave it props...so there ya have it. Not the ball I was expecting. This is a cheap outdoor ball; the rubber is more orange than the picture shows. Not what I expected at all; no bargain so don't be fooled. I bought it to be autographed; not suitable. Not the same basketball in the picture So lame. I got the basketball and I was stoked because I'm starting to play ball at lunch, but when I opened it, I was shocked to see a toys r us style ball. CHANGE THE PICTURE TO THE CRAPPY BALL THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY SELLING. Shabs OUT!
