Really can’t wait until they release them to the public ❤

Putting your finger in it and you can make a new dribble/pass move set
So cool.
The short form content is amazing but sometimes these longer videos are better, keep up the good work!
if you like this tyler will make a podcast
Nice vid🎉
"People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self–fulfilling prophecy." –Tony Robbins
When you showed it drop for like 2 seconds it bounced way less then the actual basketball 💀
video starts at 8:00
Imagine putting years researching this for the NBA players to finally hate it and get rid of it
I see that you removed the drop test that you showed in your shorts. There it is obvious it doesnt bounce as much. But I can see that after you shot the ball and it went through the hoop it didnt bounce like a normal basketball so its still far away from being NBA ready.
I'm gonna go on a limb here and say that, its gonna be a huge game-changer in the NBA. I'm guessing that new airless basketball is gonna cost a small fortune. I hope that it'll be worth it, if it really is… I'm getting one.
It recyclable tho 🧐
Is this a padid advertisement? You avoided talking about the obvious concerns and flaws.
It is lame on pro games but really nice for practice.
Now make some tires
I'd forgive trying to turn an obnoxious short into a 9min video if this wasn't a waste of air. The 5 sec you actually spent marketing what you thought basically boils down to, "It's a basketball!". You didn't even attempt addressing the obvious concerns with it.
Wilson even said this isn't the final design and SLS printing will never be practical for producing something like this at scale. It's just a prototype. The most successful influencer mouthpieces at least pretend to be objective. This was just lazy man.
