What makes you say that? I mean, couldn't you just as easily say "kids of the past will never know how amazing these pop-proof, leak-proof, high-grip basketballs are"? Why are the old ones any better?
thats like someone in the 50's saying "future kids won't know how amazing our basketballs were". Do you ever think about how you wish you could play with a basketball from the 1950s? no. no one cares. Things get better.
Just accept it man in the future our only job will be filling out forums and fixing machinery because companies don’t have to pay machines and right now they are being used in high quantities
Fun fact - China banned child labor in 1991 because we asked them to. By comparison the province I live in here in Canada allows child labor for certain industries like farming. In China the age of work is 16 here it's only 14. So technically they're doing better than Canada on the issue.
I doubt it feels the same, there's a reason we can't have air-less tires on the street. Air distributes the pressure evenly throughout the inside of the ball, this ball would only bounce because of deformation. So basically it wouldn't feel the same and while it does still bounce I 100% doubt it feels the same.
@Jamie Bootay And it never will, I see a giant flop. Or maybe it will be like how they promised us airless tires years ago, then they realized that air is kinda important, but they still decided to make them for atv's because they're on rough terrain anyway. Maybe they'll make these and some people will use them, but it will never replace the basketballs in the NBA
This ball's 3D geometric structure will allow for the same bounce as a standard NBA basketball. I recommend you do more research before concluding how effective the ball would be.
If the ball was engineered correctly, it would have EXACTLY the same weight as a standard basketball, and a VERY close approximation to its dynamic elasticity (bounciness).
Same, it actually made me way better at controlling the ball, because I had to learn to keep the nub on top at all times so it didn't screw up the bounce and make it go flying lol
@Black Adventure I have used my 3D printer to print complex 3D objects with moving parts in a single print. I got it for like $300 USD as a kit. It does in fact print using layers that are essentially 2D, like every other 3D printer.
I thought about that, too. There was a short clip in the video where it looked like they applied another layer, kind of like a sticker, to the outside of the ball. After the new layer was applied, it looked like it had the surface of a typical basketball.
Let The Professor test it and he'll demo the grip advantages of that texture! It looks like anybody could learn how to palm and carry-over like a pro with that.
Personal-use 3d printers are not of the same quality lmao. Also I would say personal use 3d printers do print correctly around 99% of the time assuming proper usage. Source: I own a 3d printer; only mess-ups I've really had have been bed adhesion.
I think a professional industrial 3d printer would be more accurate then the one you have at home 😁also to prove you wrong nasa has an accurate 3d printer (u said there aren't any)
I would assume the air travelling through the ball rather than around it would create some differences. Would love to see this thing tried out in an exhibition game.
@William Berne he said in the video there's a benefit of it being printed in one piece. Making a skin you need to zip or seal it in makes it pointless
Bro you know damn good and well that PG will find some excuse lol "ohh my fingers get stuck in the holes when I shoot" excuse me sir....are your fingers cigarettes??!! Lol
I mean I'd have to imagine they'll cover the holes with an outside padding if it starts getting widely used, I'd imagine the commercial version won't look much different than a normal basketball
If you've ever played a sport that involves a ball. Rugby, basketball, cricket, baseball etc sometimes those differences in the ball due to it being handmade can show huge differences in how the ball reacts, sometimes good sometimes bad but it's up to the player's skill to adjust
The main problem I see with the ball is how it interacts with surfaces over time (friction - inducing the grip on the ball for dribbling and shooting along with hitting the rim, etc) and spin (it’s hollow so it will fly differently than a regular basketball)
@JedisRc00l I think what he's trying to say is that air passes through all of the holes in the ball, so the drag is different from a traditional basketball as it flies through the air.
That's a neat prototype. Hope to see more especially with how it handles aerodynamically. Also, how it sounds as well. That dink of a well inflated ball is very distinct.
The openings are so small, the air resistance is pretty negligible, as far as curving it. But with the right amount of spin, you could curve it pretty good. Although it might not be as dramatic as you think, because of the uniformness and spacing of the holes.
I think it still has the leather outer shell. This is just the inner portion of the basketball. You know how like a normal basketball has the rubber underneath the leather?
CLASSIC. Hey guys I know you’re working on médica and science stuff but…. We need to watch grown adults play a game with a space ball so chop chop. Make it happen.
Realistically, everyone will see this, then they’ll say it’s too weird, too different, or causes problems with how they play (even if it doesn’t). So no one will buy it, Wilson will decide to manufacture basketballs the traditional way to keep from becoming bankrupt, and it’ll all have been one interesting but very short-lived experiment. 😭
Probably not unexpected, but probably slightly different than how inflated balls currently travel. Likely the only noticeable different would be during hard and long passes, I don't think there would be much difference when it comes to a simple jumpshot
That was my immediate thought seeing it too, the aerodynamics are gonna be way different to the point it puts pro-ballers at a massive disadvantage so I can't see them ever adopting the new style. If they somehow do manage to make it new regulation then there's always going to be tons of complaints in pro games from the losing side... They'll start claiming the new ball bounced or flew differently and cost them the game. No matter which side loses they'll use the new balls as an excuse to demand a rematch claiming they would've won if it was a regular one so I imagine it's not gonna last long before it's banned from all the complaints, if it even somehow gets adopted in the first place...
![I Tried Andrew Huberman's Morning Routine - [30 Days + Blood Tests]](/img/1.gif)
Kids in the future won’t know the pain of being last in line to get a basketball during open gym and being stuck with a deflated ball.
It looks like yours would never be deflated though
@SLUMP what the hell
@SLUMP tf
@SLUMP Ayo wtf
the aerodynamics will not be the same since it has airholes. many shooters will hate it specially advanced shooters who are used to "spin" on the ball
true
Yeah and i wonder if it acts the same when you spin it off the backboard
Nope; it has a mesh structure, which wouldn't affect the spin or bounce of the ball.
@Weltschmerz ist oft häufig… the spin through the "air" would not be a 1 to 1. hence the term aerodynamics.
True but surely they though of this and did someething like change the shapes and stuff for shooting who knows?
My man gave a whole power point presentation on this ball just to jab PG13 lol
ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍʏ ɴᴀᴍᴇ
🗿
Really roasted PG in there.
Playoff pg is no more...
@epicmatt27cuz they can't make the playoffs🤣🤣
@Human you listen to Tyler the creator. You’re gay on the low
Playoff P
Kids in the future will never know how amazing old school basketballs were.
What makes you say that? I mean, couldn't you just as easily say "kids of the past will never know how amazing these pop-proof, leak-proof, high-grip basketballs are"? Why are the old ones any better?
@David Botossay less
@David Botos because according to the internet everything old is good and new is bad
thats like someone in the 50's saying "future kids won't know how amazing our basketballs were". Do you ever think about how you wish you could play with a basketball from the 1950s? no. no one cares. Things get better.
Plus, all the people that work at the Spalding factory, can be fired now.
why are you so negative man? Chill
I mean is he wrong tho
Well...yeah, isn't that how economics works?
Just accept it man in the future our only job will be filling out forums and fixing machinery because companies don’t have to pay machines and right now they are being used in high quantities
@Your Name They'll have machines fix machines.
PG out here catching strays 💀
Bro stoped playing with dead cows and processed dinossaurs💀
For valid reason tbh
The crab game picture 😅
PG out here catching strays smh lol
You can do better than copying
Bro really did Paul George like that 💀😭
Damn shaq is gonna be destroying the basketballs and the rims.
😈😈😈
Shaq is 51 years old.
Been out of the league for 13 years.
@Mo Dee it's a joke
@Mo Dee 🤓☝️
@acceptable shorts a joke must be funny and needs to be connected to whats happening right now.
Aerodynamics enters the chat... 😂
For real 😂
That thing’s not gonna fly the same
@Steven C That thing is gonna fly 😂😂😂
Won’t be able to spin it
No, the mesh structure would not affect the bounce or spin of the ball.
@GatoMichi That's untrue.
That ending was a violation. 💀
"A special kind of 3d printing that prints using 2d layers"
Man do i have news for you
I was thinking that lol
Ikr 😂
LITERALLY 😭
Every 3D printer works like that, like what is so special bout it ☠️
@Cookie Crumbz yes mate, that's the point he made...don't need to be a parrot
The NBA is going to start deflating balls faster than the Patriots
Curry about to have a 100% 3 throw quote
Nike: we gotta teach an 11 yr old Chinese kid how to 3D print a ball.
Fun fact - China banned child labor in 1991 because we asked them to. By comparison the province I live in here in Canada allows child labor for certain industries like farming. In China the age of work is 16 here it's only 14. So technically they're doing better than Canada on the issue.
@Abe Buckingham just because it's banned officially doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.
@Abe Buckingham where’s the fun in that fact?
Imagine breaking your finger instead of jamming it. 😂
I doubt it feels the same, there's a reason we can't have air-less tires on the street. Air distributes the pressure evenly throughout the inside of the ball, this ball would only bounce because of deformation. So basically it wouldn't feel the same and while it does still bounce I 100% doubt it feels the same.
You're exactly right. It doesn't bounce the exact same as the official nba game ball
@Jamie Bootay And it never will, I see a giant flop. Or maybe it will be like how they promised us airless tires years ago, then they realized that air is kinda important, but they still decided to make them for atv's because they're on rough terrain anyway. Maybe they'll make these and some people will use them, but it will never replace the basketballs in the NBA
This ball's 3D geometric structure will allow for the same bounce as a standard NBA basketball. I recommend you do more research before concluding how effective the ball would be.
hope there's no tiny rocks on the outdoor courts lol
Oh lord that would be hell
Doh!
Exactly. This model will never make it since most of the basketballs sold are being used outside.
@SUBJECT M01 pretty sure they would skin these anyway. Cause otherwise there's no friction.
Maybe for only matches
I've seen this technology for car tires on the internet for years. Still waiting.
Most importantly, it just looks really cool
I would love to see a video of some teams playing with them for the first time without any practice
Yo that would be crazy!!!!!!
I'd love to see that
666
If the ball was engineered correctly, it would have EXACTLY the same weight as a standard basketball, and a VERY close approximation to its dynamic elasticity (bounciness).
Meanwhile PG 13 is like keep my name out of your f*** mouth.
You'll never have to worry about someone like Tom Brady cheating! 😂😂😂
"Ayo man these holes are slipery fr fr, I can't hit my shot"
"Man this wind crazy, blew my ball right out the hoop"
@Sian K. “And I finally put my ball inside the hole and it went through “
@MALCOM X bro I blink and then your comment pops like what
It’s like a real time Clip-Share comment conversation
Bro
This needs to get introduced to tires💯🔥
I remember the last time the NBA tried to introduce a new ball, and I don’t even watch sports.
PG : “Why’d he say fuck me for?”
😂😂😂
😂
😂😂
😭😭😭😭
The "air pump" industry will never allow this
“More easy to make? Good let’s triple the price”
I always ended up with the titty ball during open gym 😂😂
especially at school bro is only like 4 good ones out of 10
Same, it actually made me way better at controlling the ball, because I had to learn to keep the nub on top at all times so it didn't screw up the bounce and make it go flying lol
@Leo If this ain't the truth 😂😂😂
A water logged basketball has never been a problem
1891: Basketball
2023: no air basketball
Sustainability means no more jobs for the factories making the balls
The thing is, every ball will now be an AIR ball
My dude just said what normal 3D printing is
It’s not, you can see the actual process on Clip-Share
@Black Adventure It is: source, my 3D printer currently printing precise geometric shapes using 2D layers
@Black Adventure I have used my 3D printer to print complex 3D objects with moving parts in a single print. I got it for like $300 USD as a kit.
It does in fact print using layers that are essentially 2D, like every other 3D printer.
The end of those annoying people exploding basketballs while people are having fun
Damn that random attack on Paul George😂😂
They thought this was a exam question and forgot air resistance
Sick reference, bro.
I thought about that, too. There was a short clip in the video where it looked like they applied another layer, kind of like a sticker, to the outside of the ball. After the new layer was applied, it looked like it had the surface of a typical basketball.
This thing has to be a joke lmao. Its so badly thought out and the design with all those holes is disgusting
@DelDelta that would work but would also defeat the purpose of being made in one piece and that sticker also might change the bounce
@CleanestBowl553 it's not disgusting
Paul George stay catching strays 😂
And then the solar flare hits and we are back at rubber balls again.
The aerodynamics of all those holes is what makes me curious
Same, either will be more or less affected by the air, really just gonna have to see how it plays out
I was also thinking about the grip, like wouldn't be hard for some players to palm a ball like that?
@z4gee it's tough to say but really promising considering the amount of basketballs they make every year it would save ressources like crazy
Don't play at Venice beach
@z4geedidn't NBA try a 'new ball' that was scrapped because it was injuring the players' hands?
That basketball just went into the backrooms😂
Let The Professor test it and he'll demo the grip advantages of that texture! It looks like anybody could learn how to palm and carry-over like a pro with that.
Happy to see PG still catching strays
I WAS ABOUT TO BE THE 50TH LIKE
BUT NOOOOO
SOMEONE BEAT ME TO IT
@zek eggyso what
Why?
Hey Malcom
You can now play basketball in space.
Tom Hanks would be devastated...
These companies don’t want to sell a ball that never goes flat, they want you to buy more than one.
Wilson said fick it
The goal is a monopoly, as is with every massive corporation
But if this is more durable, why would you need to buy more of these than the traditional ones?
Why do we keep buying new reusable water bottles. We're indulgent and love the feeling of "new" over utility.
Can't wait for Bill Burr to see this
*"this basketball can be printed in ONE PIECE"*
"It can be made perfectly every time"
My man has never run a 3D printer of any kind in his life.
Idk, they're using state-of-the-art printing tech. This is actually quite revolutionary
@Lunar Vision even the best printers a prone to error. I'd say the most stable I've seen is SLA or some other for of lithography.
Personal-use 3d printers are not of the same quality lmao. Also I would say personal use 3d printers do print correctly around 99% of the time assuming proper usage. Source: I own a 3d printer; only mess-ups I've really had have been bed adhesion.
I think a professional industrial 3d printer would be more accurate then the one you have at home 😁also to prove you wrong nasa has an accurate 3d printer (u said there aren't any)
@Hubert Cumberdale There was a shot in the video of it being pulled out of what looks like a laser sintering machine, I think that's how theyre made
Still unclear why they hit it with a baseball bat
bro they need to make booster roller skates like the ones in roller champions
I would assume the air travelling through the ball rather than around it would create some differences. Would love to see this thing tried out in an exhibition game.
I would assume what we see here is just the inside of it. It still need skin.
@William Berne he said in the video there's a benefit of it being printed in one piece. Making a skin you need to zip or seal it in makes it pointless
@underseacondounit Rewatched the vid and I think you are right. Then the holes will totally change the airodynamic. That is way too much of change.
@William Berne Unless they accounted for the aerodynamics in the creation of it, only way to know would be to test it though.
Yes. Start with how sustainable the basketball is. We've just saved the planet! 🤦♂️
Next year the NBA will be played in Space
Bro you know damn good and well that PG will find some excuse lol "ohh my fingers get stuck in the holes when I shoot" excuse me sir....are your fingers cigarettes??!! Lol
Cigarettes? Cause his fingers are butt?
Hilarious comment, you win 😂😂
I mean I'd have to imagine they'll cover the holes with an outside padding if it starts getting widely used, I'd imagine the commercial version won't look much different than a normal basketball
The real question is: Can it be turned into your imaginary best friend while stranded on an island after your plane crashes?
Ya, they will never abandon the leather ball, it's too iconic
That's what baseball fans said about the pitch clock.
There’s no way in hell this ball is ever used in the nba lmao
After very little use, it won't bounce the same. Putting air in a ball, and tires, is actually pretty genius.
"Type of 3d printing where it prints in 2d layers" bro just described the only kind of 3d printing 💀
Every single type of additive manufacturing works like this lmao
Forgot about non planar slicing
4-5-6 axis 3D printers
They better put an outer layer on that charcoal Dyson sphere 😤🥹
Another benefit, would be that it would negate ability of same cheating used in the NFL
bro just described regular 3dprinting
Kind of a crap explanation but this was produced using additive manufacturing
@Mtn Dew Which is 3D printing in a nutshell..?
@Mtn DewBy definition, 3d printing is a type of additive manufacturing
Literally
PG caught a stray at the end 😂
its all fun and games until the ball falls in sand 😂

Unless it's a vacuum inside, there is definitely air
"It can be made perfectly every time" - Someone who doesn't 3D print.
air resistance has left the chat
The hundreds of holes on the basketball made to reduce air resistance have left the chat
@BlayzrBlayd i think he was referring to the holes themselves. It'll change how the ball plays
@BlayzrBlayd that’s what he’s saying. players are used to the air resistance
ok chill guys
That is some basketball test facility.
it sure looks just like a batting range
Kids in the future will never be able to get their favourite players to sign their basketball
I loved the part where you showed us how well it bounces!
Edit: I think I’m about to start world war 3 in the replies because of the word deadass 💀
he deadass showed a clip of somone dribbling it
@Domawari hardly

He quite obviously doesn’t own one to test
Tiny rocks: Im bouta end this mans whole career
If you've ever played a sport that involves a ball. Rugby, basketball, cricket, baseball etc sometimes those differences in the ball due to it being handmade can show huge differences in how the ball reacts, sometimes good sometimes bad but it's up to the player's skill to adjust
The main problem I see with the ball is how it interacts with surfaces over time (friction - inducing the grip on the ball for dribbling and shooting along with hitting the rim, etc) and spin (it’s hollow so it will fly differently than a regular basketball)
Regular basketballs are hollow too
@JedisRc00l I think what he's trying to say is that air passes through all of the holes in the ball, so the drag is different from a traditional basketball as it flies through the air.
It’s a valid concern but if the NBA adopted the ball the players would get used to it as they would use the same type of ball every game.
@CatPTSD I mean it'd make existing players worse though
They can maybe put the strips of leather on
now that’s what you call an airball
This is what Ali-G was talking about.
Tom Brady looking at this with an angry face cause he can’t deflate a ball anymore
lmao
Sir a foot ball and basket ball aren't used for the same sport
The colts when they can't blame their humiliating losses due to naturally lower pressure balls.
Ha…ha…ha ……….ha ….. ha
I doubt that Wilson would soon startout to make Footballs and Volleyballs with no air
Still isn't enough to make me or most people want to watch basketball
That's a neat prototype. Hope to see more especially with how it handles aerodynamically. Also, how it sounds as well. That dink of a well inflated ball is very distinct.
Good point on the aerodynamics since it's porous.
So...my first thought was also about the aerodynamics. I instantly went to thoughts of wiffle balls curving when pitched.
The openings are so small, the air resistance is pretty negligible, as far as curving it. But with the right amount of spin, you could curve it pretty good. Although it might not be as dramatic as you think, because of the uniformness and spacing of the holes.
@Trenton Staggs
Imaging throwing the ball from coast to coast and it curves mid air.
That will be sick
This is insane but also about fucking time.
Bro isn’t that the same 3 D printing company mark Cuban owns😂
Me remembering the "new ball" they made, but got scrapped because it was injuring players. 😬
The one that felt like sandpaper or grip tape? XD
@Honey Daddy the 06 ball
@Honey Daddy yup that’s the one this is why we can’t believe when they say “ the future ball of the nba” bs
Pg taking a stray at the end 😂
Next they gonna 3d print our organs
Its travel rate has to be different since the air moves through it. Could also cause a different rotation than the traditional ball.
Since u talking about travel and Basketball i figure we ask Lebron about it 😂😂
I think it still has the leather outer shell. This is just the inner portion of the basketball. You know how like a normal basketball has the rubber underneath the leather?
@Ayala -sniper what a reach lol.
It’s covered so it looks the same meaning that’s not a factor
CLASSIC. Hey guys I know you’re working on médica and science stuff but…. We need to watch grown adults play a game with a space ball so chop chop. Make it happen.
i don’t even play/watch basketball but i’m gonna buy it cuz it looks dope
I can’t use this ball what am I gonna blame my bad shooting on
Double rims.
Always blame the double rims
Don't forget about the wind.
HoLEs
Realistically, everyone will see this, then they’ll say it’s too weird, too different, or causes problems with how they play (even if it doesn’t). So no one will buy it, Wilson will decide to manufacture basketballs the traditional way to keep from becoming bankrupt, and it’ll all have been one interesting but very short-lived experiment. 😭
Say that air is better
It has air. Just doesn't trap air.
Thats like banning basketball shoes and only permitting Yeezy foams🥲
I'm curious about the air resistance and impact on spin as it goes through the air. Seems like it's going to move in unexpected ways for players
yeah the actual use of this "ball" is really questionable. it's hype for views and nothing more.
This was my initial thought. I'd like to see a pro practice with one.
Probably not unexpected, but probably slightly different than how inflated balls currently travel.
Likely the only noticeable different would be during hard and long passes, I don't think there would be much difference when it comes to a simple jumpshot
That was my immediate thought seeing it too, the aerodynamics are gonna be way different to the point it puts pro-ballers at a massive disadvantage so I can't see them ever adopting the new style. If they somehow do manage to make it new regulation then there's always going to be tons of complaints in pro games from the losing side...
They'll start claiming the new ball bounced or flew differently and cost them the game. No matter which side loses they'll use the new balls as an excuse to demand a rematch claiming they would've won if it was a regular one so I imagine it's not gonna last long before it's banned from all the complaints, if it even somehow gets adopted in the first place...
@Chordstrideyeah all the balls used today in sports should stay that way.
And its gonna change the shooting quite a bit because the aerodynamics are completely different
Need this in tennis, if they could endure being used. The rate that tennis balls are used and replaced due to them wearing out is insane.
@Miro that industry
The aerodynamics issue with the holes would most likely be exaggerated in tennis balls because of their size. Curve balls may be possible.
@Miro everybody who plays tennis. So basically millions of people. Not everyone is trapped indoors playing minecraft all day like you.
We call those whiffle balls
@Jon Joyce yea they already have those horrible plastic balls with holes in them that just can’t be used when hitting them really hard
You can't tell me the bounce will feel the same.
The holes in the surface would surely change how it acts in the air, like a wiffle ball
that would be whistling so hard, not to mention the air friction going though it at ALL TIMES
The air friction should be less than a normal ball, given that it has less surface area to resist air flow. The whistling is a potential issue.
@Wyatt Sperry all indoor court games are full of squeaking anyway
Lee air restriction means a dynamic change in pass speed. Mess up a lot of pros
RIP physics
I thought this was just the inner part. So they would still wrap it in a leather skin.
