What Happened to the Airless Basketball?
But what happened to the airless basketball back in 2023? It went viral when the NBA used it in the dunk contest. And soon everyone wanted to get their hands on it. People even began making their own 3D printed ball because of how silent it was and the fact it dribbled like a normal basketball. There were even rumors that the NBA would be switching to this new ball by 2030. But the only problem was that it cost $2,500. And this is where the hype began to die down. But it was also because of how the ball was made. As when someone shot with it for the first time, they would always airball. This is due to all the holes in it affecting how it travels in the air. And even the best shooter, Steph Curry, airballed with

Your voice is so annoying
Don't fuck with the original
Cost 2,500 for the ball? Stop paying all the athletes a couple million…
Bro he missed
Only 2500$ lmao
This is the most unnecessary innovation in nba history
Hahaha $2500.. people will believe anything 😂 They can make this for you for $1 in China
Your content is trash
You can 3d-print a thing worth $2.5k…
Could they not add a fabric around the ball, it may be louder but it keeps a good feel of the ball, it would bounce the same and it would travel better in the air
That weak-ass sh*t does NOT cost $2500😭
🎉🎉🎉
Cost max 5€…😂
TEMU got this ball for 3 dollars probably…
what happend to the Airless Basketball?
it was shit, that's what
It may bounce similar, but you better believe its going to move through the air entirely different.
Could just wrap it in a layer of leather or synthetic material to get the exact same weight and flight path as a normal ball 🤷♂️
Can you please give me one?
its costs 10 cents
a non-solution to a non-problem.
They tried to reinvent the wheel.
Steph also after missing, shot down a three with it im pretty sure
Ayt
Why is there barely any comments
Technically Steph isn’t the best 3 pt shooter this past season by percentage(it was actually his brother)
What happened to the drywall in your house?
This is Elite ball knowledge
I could print that for like 5p
TPU?
The lack of air friction and weightless makes it completely different to play with
Why this ball looks like cheap Indonesian soccer ball that usually used for gifts 😅
You got it finally. They hate us up here. Being better we dont care
What a joke
nah this was just bullshit for the internet to talk about. Its cringey that you even make yet another bit about it. L
