🏀 BASKETBALL THOUGHTS 🏀
The Wilson 'Authentic' has the same overall form factor as the 'Forge' with a imitation leather cover, as opposed to the more rubbery feeling Forge. I wonder why the 'Forge' exists. Maybe it's there in case Wilson loses the NBA license. Is it their outdoor version of the 'Evolution'?
Meanwhile all the NCAA balls come from the EVO NXT form factor, with very deep and beveled channels.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk on basketball design.
