  1. it is best that the current nba ball shouldnt be changed into a ball with holes. like when u hold it, u will feel the holes on your palm which is a bad thing. the ball also doesnt even look that good and wouldnt even fit the basketball theme

  2. The idea is that if you think deep, nothing makes sense about this ball 🤔
    Wtf

  3. The biggest issue im seeing with this ball is durability. Since its all plastic, it can warp and crack from temperature differences. Also if used outside, how well will it handle rough ground, i can see it being damaged easily from either outside contact surfaces or from the inside from the constant warping of plastic due to bouncing and temperature. If you ask me what this technology could be used for, the only thing that comes to mind is Space Jam lol, no really basketball in space, since no air inside is needed ))

  4. of coarse its gonna be expensive, one company and a prototype, will never be cheap, even if they go into mass production. reason being is they are monopolizing that ball so they can name any price they desire untill competition comes along and undercuts them. also sls printing is expensive to start up with mass production if they dont have enough machines to do so. even paying sls manufacturers to produce these balls will be expensive untill nearly every basketball making company moves to this ball and doing sls manufacturing in house or from someone else..

  5. It's a good thing it's only a prototype as that ball is definitely not "airless" and that is totally false advertising.

  6. if they use this in nba who said any normal kid hooping in the backyard needs one of these expensive balls why cant they use regulars if rocks and debree is coming in

  7. 1:25 Hmm… I guess with all the issues mercedes has been having in F1, George Russel decided to get a gig making basketballs at willson, huh? Maybe he thought he was going back to williams?😅

  8. Now every new record will have an asterisk for using the new ball. Would be the same as allowing non-wood bats in MLB.

  9. I think the holes might be a hindrance in wind… If the ball is still, the wind will blow through the holes, but if it is spinning or moving through the air, suddenly all those holes are little resistance pockets creating random turbulence. Initial feeling is that it would be easier to correct for the wind while shooting a regular ball, because it will respond more consistently. Also curious about the backspin, because of all the air pockets in the actual surface all potentially interacting with the air, and not necessarily doing so evenly. More data will definitely be interesting. How long til a YouTuber gets one of these and spins it off a huge bridge…

    (I wonder if they've done wind tunnel testing compared to a regulation ball, but it's likely a trade secret still. Maybe a YouTuber will do that too…)
