WILSON NBA DRV Series Basketball

Another win for Wilson. Purchased this for my daughters. The size 6 is perfect for them! The ball arrived deflated and came with a pump. However the pump did not have a needle to insert into the ball for inflation. Buyer beware if you are going to need one! Generally, this ball is of expected quality. It has held up great for exclusive outdoor use with kids and dogs alike. The kids love the gray coloring. It definitely stands out from the rest, which also means it is argued over the most. 😆 For this price and quality, you can’t go wrong!

It's a great basketball. I got a size 6 on sale for $10. The included pump is very nice with a built in storage compartment for the needle. It took me 60 seconds to inflate the ball.Great bounce, great value, great quality.

Very nice basketball. Perfect or outdoor play on concrete. It has held up. Great bounce and grip. Would buy again!

We purchased the Wilson size 6 basketball and opted for overnight delivery because we needed it the next morning. It arrived in a box, deflated, with a pump—but unfortunately, no inflation needle was included. This defeated the purpose since we still couldn’t inflate the ball when we needed it.Once we were able to inflate it (after buying a separate needle), the ball itself performed well. We’ve only used it for a few hours so far, so I can’t speak to long-term durability, but it seems like a good value for the price.It would be very helpful if the product listing clearly stated that the pump does not include a needle, so customers can plan ahead and add one to their order.

One thing I noticed right away is that it’s actually a lot oranger than it looks in the pictures—not a bad thing, just something to be aware of. The grip feels great, and it has a nice bounce, perfect for outdoor play.What really surprised me was that it came with an air pump! I wasn’t expecting that, but it was a nice touch and super convenient since I could inflate it right away.

The ball is pretty good quality holds air that's all that matters

Great quality and a good value for the money. Grandkids enjoying it.

I recently purchased the WILSON NBA DRV Series Indoor/Outdoor Basketball, and my experience has been a mix of pros and cons. While it's not a bad basketball overall, there are some aspects that left me a bit underwhelmed.Starting with the positives, the basketball's design and appearance align well with the NBA branding. It has that authentic look and feel that many basketball enthusiasts appreciate. The size and weight are also in line with standard basketball specifications, making it suitable for various types of play.The grip is decent, especially when playing on an indoor court. Dribbling and passing felt comfortable, and I didn't experience any major issues with control. Additionally, the ball seems durable enough for outdoor play, with the outer material holding up reasonably well against rough surfaces.However, the basketball's performance isn't consistent across different surfaces. While it performs adequately on indoor courts, I noticed that its grip and bounce suffered a bit when playing outdoors on concrete or asphalt. This could affect the overall gameplay experience, especially for those who prefer to play on different types of courts.Another drawback is the ball's inflation. It seems to lose air more quickly than I expected, which can be frustrating and inconvenient, especially if you're in the middle of a game. I found myself needing to reinflate the ball more often than I would with other basketballs I've used.The overall quality of the materials used is a bit questionable. While it's not terrible, it doesn't feel as premium as some other basketballs in a similar price range. Some users might find this to be a significant factor when deciding whether to purchase this basketball.In summary, the WILSON NBA DRV Series Indoor/Outdoor Basketball is a decent option, but it's not without its shortcomings. While it looks great and performs reasonably well on indoor courts, its performance outdoors and its inflation issues left me somewhat disappointed. If you're looking for a basketball primarily for indoor play, it might be worth considering. However, if you plan to play on outdoor courts frequently, you might want to explore other options that offer better grip and durability on rougher surfaces.
