Deflates overnight
Bought this for my daughter. Inflated it and it deflated overnight. Target sent a replacement and the replacement also deflated overnight. Don’t waste your time or money on this basketball.

Thank you for sharing your experience. The Spalding Varsity 28.5" Basketball is designed for indoor/outdoor play, but deflation may indicate a valve or seam issue. Please check the valve for leaks and ensure it’s sealed after inflation. If the problem continues, contact Spalding’s customer service at https://www.spalding.com/customer-service/contact for assistance or a warranty claim.

Ball is faulty
One of the balls has a leak or something, literally airing it up everyday.

Usless ball
Looks good, but a pretty terrible ball. Even when properly filled, the ball bounces askew both off the dribble and off the backboard. Makes it useless even as a backup practice ball.

Needed new basketball
We have a basketball net in our driveway and were due for a new ball. I had seen colorful basketballs on other websites, but noticed this one while buying other things at Target. I liked the color combination and the size. It was already inflaited and we were able to play with it right out of the box.
