FIBA Official Game Ball
This is the exact basketball used in all FIBA tournaments, with the ball making its debut at the 2019 Basketball World Cup. BG5000 leather basketballs can be used when brand new in both practice and games. The new premium leather allows the ball to be used without the need for 'bouncing in'!
Less Slippery
The new surface texture gives the ball an optimum grip over traditional pebble grip basketballs, even when in contact with sweat or moisture.
The Original Leather Texture Surface area in contact with the hand is wider by 95% compared to that of conventional pebble surfaces for better grip.
