You made a video that's almost 9 minutes and you spend less than 5 seconds on showing how the ball bounces, the only thing most people are interested in.🤣

I need to see a sharpshooter hitting shots with this ball I am still curious about the holes effecting the way the ball travels in air

[@malasc12]

Imagine putting years researching this for the NBA players to finally hate it and get rid of it

[@danmarchuk3617]

How does it handle moisture for grip and what would it due during a windy day on a court? Could it spin a little funny compared to a normal basketball? I wonder how it would handle slamming to the ground.

HOW ARE FANS SUPPOSED TO GET AUTOGRAPHS?!?!????

[@RandomU2ber]

First toughts that popped up in my head was regarding aero dynamics. Since the new ball have holes, air will pass through it and not around it. How does that affect the aero dynamic properties of the ball? Will it travel further when you throw it with the same amount of force as a regular ball? And will the holes affect the movement of the ball in the air? Or is the design of the holes such that they cancel the air flow out some how to mimic a traditional basket ball? A bit more technical insight would have been interesting to get hold of. Great video tho 🙂

Hasn't Adam Silver already taken the air out of the game?

Imagine playing with this on a real basketball court at a park... and getting all kind of crap stuck inside of it.😂😂😂

This Channel is low key a W

[@Joffboff-do1nn]

there must be some difference in how it travels through air... The holes makes for air to pass through, probably reducing the turbulence behind and reducing drag... the holes may also act like dimples on a golfball... ?

[@GaDawg11]

The short form content is amazing but sometimes these longer videos are better, keep up the good work!

[@manleteater1970]

I'm curious as to when these will become readily available to the public

[@brunopare8613]

i just want to hear this ball hit the ground. Damn is so hard, every video about this ball is just video and music.

[@BlueshirtFan4Ever]

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.

[@kennethcomments]

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

[@PostThaMost]

"no air"

[@natureboy6268]

I wonder how the different surface will impact shooting.

[@JoshDeek]

Hell yeah dude I literally wanted to see a video of this ball and BOOM there's Tyler

[@LNRFALLS]

Is it the same weight
