In the eighties of the last century, the NBA was experiencing an unprecedented winter due to poor management, and to add insult to injury, the smash hit Wilson withdrew from investing in the NBA, and in 1984, Spalding began to sponsor the NBA, in fact, Spalding was also going downhill at that time, facing the crisis of bankruptcy many times, and cooperation with the NBA may be the last card it played.
 
Fortunately, David Stern's takeover has made the NBA rise again, and the Spalding brand has become well-known around the world. In fact, in the final analysis, Spalding's popularity has only been twenty or thirty years, which is not as good as Wilson and Morten, which have accumulated longer, and every Spalding basketball printed with the NBA logo has to pay a certain percentage of the royalty to the NBA league, so in terms of cost performance, Spalding is slightly lower than Wilson and Morten of the same grade.
 
Spalding's top basketball, naturally the one in the hands of James and Curry on the NBA court, is made of pure cowhide, only suitable for wooden floors, and there is a common problem with leather basketball, that is, the surface coating takes a long time to grind, usually takes 1-2 months, plus the high price, it is not cost-effective for most enthusiasts.
 
The sub-flagship TF-1000 legend, although it uses ZK microfiber, consumers generally report that the touch is hard, and the ultra-deep black rib groove design is also a matter of opinion. Therefore, it is always impossible to go wrong with this level of basketball to choose Wilson Evolution, and the price is much cheaper.
 
NBA classic is the series that really supports Spalding, its most significant feature is that the balls are printed with the NBA logo, and the pattern, the printing is varied, 74-606y NBA gold LOGO dazzling atmosphere, the use of high-quality PU, the leather is thicker than the ball of the same level, wear-resistant but also to ensure a soft feel. The 74-604Y of the control series has excellent grip performance and is very popular in China, and friends with NBA complexes can consider these two models.
 
Let's talk about Spalding's black technology basketball, NEVERFLAT, which uses the unique NitroFlate patented molecular technology to inject special nitrate-containing gas into the sphere to form a protective layer that can prevent air leakage. At the same time, the air valve is capped to reduce air leakage. Although there is no need to pump up, but because it is a special gas, the sound of slapping is harsh, and the feel is average, a bit similar to the feeling of a rubber ball, so it is recommended not to step on thunder.
 
Position ball series is the most cost-effective ball model, divided into guards, small forwards, centers, etc., in addition to the hot stamping position pattern is not the same, the performance is basically the same, the price is about 150 yuan, anti-wear and wear-resistant, very suitable for outdoor plastic and cement floors, recommended to the pursuit of cost-effective golfers.
 
In addition, Spalding also has a team emblem series, a star signature series, and an All-Star Game commemorative series, which are more emotional attributes and belong to peripheral products, mainly depending on personal preferences.
