   I want to emphasize how there's basically zero information on basketballs. It's all like some dude on reddit saying he likes this one because whatever. Not even the companies themselves explain the differences between their balls. There's two autistic dudes on YouTube who have large basketball collections but they also just say "yeah I think this one is more grippy".
   
   I am pretty close to writing a email to Wilson to ask specifically wtf "Ever Bounce Construction" is and how it's different from "Standard".
   
   No one plays basketball it's all a meme to sell you shoes (which there are many reviews on).

     @picofarad it's funny how Wilson sent out that "ball" to everyone but can't be bothered to get any of their normal balls reviewed. What a silly gimmick.

     @crunklord420 the 3d printed & the ones that look 3d printed that cost $1200 or whatever are designed to bounce the same as the regulation balls, i guess. i was going to call them "and the hollow ones" but thankfully i have one working managerial neuron.
