The pebbles on most rubber balls are weak but on this basketball, it is deep and strong which makes for a great ball in cold or rainy weather because the grip on the ball is so intense.
This is another simple and affordable rubber basketball that is very similar to the Spalding NBA Street. This ball directly addresses one of my key concerns — inflation. The skin of this ball has hexagons etched into it. This gives the ball a different feel from an indoor ball, which may or may not suit you. The good news is the hex design whisks water away so the grip stays the same through inclement weather.
The harder rubber really makes the ball durable and mitigates abrasion. The Spalding Hexagrip is a great outdoor ball for those who play a lot and want a dependable ball that plays well in almost all conditions.
This ball is great for midday basketball when the sun is high and glare can become an issue. You can really make out the seams and lettering perfectly on this all-black ball during daylight hours.
This ball also stands up well to the weather, giving you a good grip even in the rain. You can customize this ball a little bit, too.
And, the black color of the ball makes it unique. Its uniqueness protects it. The grip is really good right out of the box, but bring a towel for the first few sessions because the tacky material picks up dust and dirt easily. Also, some players have a tough time adjusting to the way this ball bounces. Overall, this is another good choice if you prefer composite leather over rubber and want to get closer to the feeling and handling of an indoor ball.
It takes very little time to break-in. It also has deep seams for handling and a great feel off the fingers for shooting. If you want to save money, you can go for the rubber version of the Spalding.

Budget Choice. This could be at the three-point line or half court. Set the clock for 10 seconds, and see how many baskets each player can make before the next player moves into position for their 10 seconds on the clock. The player with the most baskets wins. Divide your group into two or more teams and have each group form a single file line behind the baseline.
Each team will have one ball, and the first player in line will dribble as fast as they can, while controlling the ball, to the opposite baseline or half-court line and back.
They will then hand the ball off to the next player in line on their team who will in turn run their leg of the race.
The first team to complete the race and get back to the baseline wins. More Basketball Articles. Look for this banner for recommended activities. Cancel Yes. Join Active or Sign In.

The two players square off against each other on a half-court, with the goal being to make as many baskets as you can within a certain timeframe. All of the same rules and fouls apply as in a traditional game. Like 21, the game begins with Player No. If he misses, he can go for the rebound and shoot again.
