NBA, FIBA endorse new basketballs

MANILA, Philippines - Popular basketball brand Spalding has again come up with a novelty item designed for high-caliber competitive indoor play.

Called the “Platinum ZK Legacy and the TF-1000 Legacy,” the basketballs are both approved by the NBA and FIBA as they allow moisture to easily spread and dissipate on the surface of the ball, giving players a more stable and firmer grip even during a sweaty game.

The latest Legacy basketballs are distributed locally by Proline Sports Center.

The new basketballs also have deep channels to provide better handling, full ball pebbling and soft carcass.

The unique feature can be tested by simply putting a few drops of water on the surface of the ball and see how moisture is spread on the ball surface.
