SLALERKG NBA Basketball - Size 7 Brown

Spalding GOLD indoor/outdoor basketball is a soft leather ball with a solid feel for Ghana's harsh outdoor courts. Step on the court and show them who is the king. Available in Standard size 7. Each ball comes with a free basketball net. Remember, it takes about 2 weeks to break in a basketball so after the second week it should feel very good.

When Dr. James Naismith invented the game of basketball in 1891, players had to use a soccer ball. Naismith asks A.G. Spalding to develop the very first basketball, and it isn't long before the official rules of the game read, "the ball made by A.G. Spalding & Bros. shall be the official ball."
Spalding is an American sports equipment manufacturing company founded by Albert Spalding in Chicago, Illinois, in 1876. It is now headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Spalding currently focuses on basketball, mainly producing balls but also commercialising hoops, rims, nets and ball pump needles. Softballs are commercialised through its subsidiary Dudley Sports.

In the past, Spalding manufactured balls for other sports, such as American football, baseball, soccer, and volleyball. The company was founded in 1876 when Albert Spalding was a pitcher and manager of a baseball team in Chicago, the Chicago White Stockings. The company standardized early baseballs and developed the modern baseball bat with the bulge at its apex. In 1892, Spalding acquired Wright & Ditson and A. J. Reach, both rival sporting goods companies.
