Airless Basketball Is Crazy 🏀

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

The squeak of sneakers and the bounce of the ball is the music of basketball.

tell that to my complaining neighbor.

I feel like a match with this ball would be awkwardly quiet, only thing you'd hear are the players breathing and the squeaking of their shoes

[@Chronoanime666]

?????? Is everybody just going to magically forget how to speak? Is the crowd going to be quiet? Announcers? Buzzers? Bro forgot about his brain.

Car chases with all electric cars are pretty quiet compared to normal engines lol

Ball would be stolen in 2 seconds if you ever brought it to an outdoor court

[@DickDanielson]

😂

[@kingrocky7519]

I mean, being able to hear the ball bounce is pretty important for things like court awareness.

[@matthewb2365]

Even if it bounces perfectly, the bigger issue would likely be shooting (and to a lesser extent: passing). The aerodynamics of the ball will presumably be totally different than a regular ball.

[@DaSHiZi305]

I concur, my thoughts exactly.

[@dougayers6185]

Ball is useless, airflow through the revolving holes creates resistance.

[@jahtv670]

2.5k tht cost them probably 30$ max

[@johnmark1294]

not for outdoor playing. tiny holes can collect dirt and alter a shot.

[@Bruhmoment-os8ne]

also the wind through the holes

[@Ghostvertigo]

Apparently they tested it on dirt and outside and it doesn't collect little rocks or dirt in it & air doesn't affect it more then a real ball, but that is the company talking

[@mattyboy999]

Right. I don't think you can find ten people combined that spend more than 2.5k on basketballs in a lifetime.

[@neskakis]

Nah I’m gonna miss the swish if I have to use that ball

[@charlesbird781]

Is there a shortage of air?

[@Speo_]

In probably a decade or so all basketball’s would be like this

[@bencarey243]

Problem is air goes through the holes when you shoot it and it will never go through the holes the same so it will always shoot different.

[@monstaar7887]

2 500 GFOR ONE BALL?! FUCK THAT LOL

[@King_Gatorade]

Bro, they'll be 3D printing this for 12$ in a year

[@paouieee7504]

If this balls fall in the river it's over

[@andystreepy3146]

It flies through the air differently

[@HomeDefender30]

Imagine paying 2500 dollars to mess up your shot with a ball that doesn’t travel the same in air as a regular ball.

[@duffman1876]

$50-$60 for a basketball is already a lot,I ain't gatdamn paying $2500 for one🤷🏽‍♂️🍻🍺

[@yasirb9172]

wonder if its less predictable how it bounces of the rim

[@sheikhadnan4074]

With that grip, everyones gonna turn into Kyrie with these balls

[@maasz]

Can make blisters

[@arvindkumar4115]

I saw videos of people shooting it and goes airball. The air resistance to a regular ball is also a factor for a shooter.

[@Nikolaos0603]

I’ll wait a few years when it’s affordable

[@anonymousviewer4750]

Did he say it costs $2500? If so, that’s too expensive

[@The_Goat-43]

Reminds me of ANT’s shoe 😂

[@user-sr3gf6ze9q]

It's useful and a great ball but it costs way too much for it to be worth

[@lordkaiser1404]

only because it's still a prototype. in a few years it will be so cheap.

[@truthdetector4036]

useful for what?

[@lordkaiser1404]

@@truthdetector4036 useful for playing quietly. a lot of neighbors hate the sound of bouncing balls.

[@rebeccawaldschmidt3264]

One bad jump crash 2,500$gone crushed

[@MokkaCoffy]

its good, once the price gets cheaper. It is standardisation of basketball and also allows for in house use

[@powercoder]

I think it is worth in long term as people can be fully accustomed to a highly calibrated ball and fine tune their accuracy of ball handling and shooting only based on internal factors!

[@jiddkorr4870]

Its supposed to do the exact same thing as a normal ball but cost 2500? This is likely the stupidest product ive ever seen

[@chelseyt7091]

...but it looks cool! 😂

[@kjsd3201]

At the 2.5k asking price it's definitely useless 😂🔫

[@Blakeyboi24]

This is the only revolution we dont really need,

[@willbailey749]

It’s useful for dribbling if you were to practice inside and live in like an apartment or something. Not useful for shooting bc the holes cause the ball to slow down in the air slightly

[@OscarBreath]

Its a child's toy they put years of work into making

[@sheikhadnan4074]

Kyrie is gonna go crazy with these balls.

[@Heruur666]

If that ball would be produced by me then useful for sure.

[@timp8843]

How well does it do outside?

[@riffdagg6701]

It weighs the same, it bounces the same, but when you throw it..... it definitely does not move through the air the same as a normal basketball.

[@davewu8938]

A youtuber made a video on this ball. Way different shooting and dribbling.

[@mikemccullagh814]

It's not worth 2500. It's still at the end of the day a basketball people. I can buy a good ball and a pump for way way less.

[@kos4290]

Hole edges will hurt fingers when you play long enough i think

[@benjiii3]

Shit resells for 10k😭

[@AlexWeberg]

I think the ball itself is nice but its a waste of money until it becomes more affordable. There's much better things you can do with that money than buy a basketball.

[@FrankdaTank9]

I like the concept but who spending that much money on a ball besides rich folks?

[@lordkaiser1404]

it's only expensive because it's still on prototype stage. once it's mass produced, it will be cheaper than the leather ones.

[@Trollyaccount]

It cost that much because it’s a Prototype when they release they wouldn’t be that much

[@MaxThrills]

I do need a solution for my flat BALLS

[@kos4290]

I have never had a flat basketball on my life

[@AthosJosue]

It's a cool tecnology, when (and if) comes down to the same price of a regular ball, It's going to be a cool option for poor people who can't afford buying balls every time they pop or who play in rough terrains.

[@sixthrees333333]

😂Poor people lol

[@spawncampe]

Maybe if I had like a mini hoop in my backyard and didn't want to make sounds for the neighborhoods, otherwise what's the point. Also that price tag needs two 0s removed

I mean air is free so 2.5k is crazy

[@charlesm1945]

[@kingkeesietv]

Did the price of pumps sky rocket or something? Cuz if not how is a $2500 ball helping anyone financially or practically.

[@truthdetector4036]

If it has a helpful technology built in to help track and improve shots/dribbling etc, maybe it's worth $2500.

[@JRloxRB]

Well it's useful but the price is high so it's not worth it

[@jej495]

It would be good if you live in a apartment and want to work on your handles.

[@wunwegwundarwun8580]

$2500 for a bit of 3d printed plastic😂

[@hellofranky99]

It weights the same?? That ball will get disgusting really quickly with sweat and dust stuck in between all those holes. And that airless ball will not be easy to clean.

[@twite5462]

Would air resistance not be way off with the holes?

[@chelseyt7091]

Apparently not they claim

[@kevinpitts22able]

I mean… are flat balls really plaguing basketball to the point of needing to create an airless counterpart? Lol

[@jzayas5698]

Like... how hard is it to inflate a $20 basketball if it gets flat that you need a $2,500 one?

[@bobloblaw7030]

Doesnt seem like it bounces very good so not sure why they said it bounces the same...

[@emil2321]

$2500 or get one for free by poking a hole into a real basketball

[@jimboslice6367]

Perfect for betas

[@WillyKillya]

Does it have the same feel? Can you Palm it? It has holes, playing outside with even a tiny bit of wind is going to turn into a giant wiffle ball... Wait that might be fun! Weird trick shots baby

[@calebokojie9300]

It's not mean for mass production. For rich kids and influencers that can buy it, plus it's a collectable not so you can actually play it even though it works

[@lordkaiser1404]

if the nba decides to use it, it will be mass produced and will probably even cheaper than those leather ones.

[@BradleySterr474]

usefull

[@unclemonke1940]

But it doesn’t Shoot the same

[@10191927]

🤔 I would think that this airless basketball would be better as a regulation basketball for NBA games, as the weight and dimensions can be far more uniform and accurate. Just a thought.

[@dreadpiratesnake6152]

[@darksiders2002]

The dumbest ball design I have ever seen.

[@kinglegault]

It's a basic design I feel like I can make that with a 3d printer to be honest

[@DylanDSjvc]

Maybe because it’s made my 3D printing… it’s called « Selective Laser Sintering » and I think they are working on elastomers like polyurethane thermoplastics in order to build these rubber balls. That’s why I’m really surprised about that price of 2,500$ cause I think I can print it whenever I want 😂
