Review: Feel the emotion - This basketball is truly a piece of art, with a sleek and impressive design. I was searching for the best ball on the market to really capture the emotion of playing, and after considering a few top options, I decided on this one. It arrived fully inflated and ready for the court, which was a great touch. After a couple of uses, I can confidently say I’m loving it.
Review: Best FIBA basketball! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Pro-Level Basketball I’ve been watching EuroBasket this year and couldn’t help but notice how cool the Molten BG5000 looked on the court. I decided to pick one up here on desertcart, and I’m really glad I did. Right out of the box, the ball felt a little slippery — but that’s expected since this is genuine leather, not composite leather like the Wilson Evolution. Genuine leather basketballs need to be broken in, and after putting in some playing time, the grip has become absolutely incredible. The feel is premium, the bounce is consistent, and I can tell this ball will last for years once fully broken in. In my opinion, the Molten BG5000 is a better choice than the Wilson Evolution. Not only does it offer that authentic pro-level leather feel, but it also comes in at a slightly lower price point ($95 vs. $100 for the Evolution). If you want a durable, professional-quality basketball with amazing long-term grip, I’d highly recommend the BG5000.

## Features

- 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. The BG5000 leather basketball 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
- Improved grip performance - Foam concentration has been increased by 35% and an EVA foam backing layer has been applied, Making the ball softer and easier to control
- Branding - all lettering design on the BG5000 is branded into the ball to offer an authentic look to the natural leather basketball
- Natural leather texture - BG5000 takes full advantage of the natural leather properties to ensure better texture and offering more consistent grip in these segments of the ball
