So you might have heard about this this is Wilson’s new airless basketball prototype it is 3D printed and the number one question everyone wants to know is how does it actually bounce but before I even bounce it there are other differences this is a regular NBA ball
It feels different like it’s got this slick texture to it um it also smells very different kind of smells like a shoe also I’m sure other people have heard of uh Trypophobia with the the thing with the holes in it like this has a lot of that might bother some people
But anyway okay real question how does the bounce NBA ball airless ball so quiet that’s like 90% of a regular ball that’s crazy I was wondered if things would get inside it like if you played on a dirty Court outside but ah this is crazy I I did not expect that anyway
This thing is $2,500 so don’t expect to see it everywhere anytime soon but it is an interesting idea

Whitest voice of all time 😂
We are getting there
Those wholes probably alter the aero dynamics of the ball compared to a regular one, so shooting with it will not be the same
Ok, so the bounce is good. But what about air resistance? Would love to see Steph Curry test some threes with this.
That's wild!
Does anyone got the .stl file? 😊
Seems like it would be too lightweight or something
Theres a phobia for… lots of holes..?
John Krasinski playing ball in A Quiet Place like:
ok but why?
"That looks dumb it might be sold for cheaper price"
Modern Age People: $2500
-Continue making dumb things and people popular and it will bear it fangs unto you.
HOW DOSE IT SHOOT?
Smart move not starting off with the price cause if I heard it first… skip 😂
pay more for less
lol you could buy a 3d printer and make your own for cheaper than 2.5k$
What about the aerodynamics when passing and shooting? Is there a wiffle ball effect?
Ah yes more plastic in the world
Before the video: wow it's probably cheap😊
After the video: "Anyways it's just 2500$" 😵😭
I was not expecting that voice to come from him 😂
Do have tripophobia but as long it’s not. disgusting it’s fine
That's so cool, but why on earth would it cost so much?!? No rubber, no leather, and no labeling… And it smells.
I was thinking “cool idea, maybe I’ll get one” then he said 2500 and I said “eh, Walmart sells regular balls for $10
Buy airless ball
Look inside
Air
ok but how does it taste
Wait you can buy them now?
Can't have the same wind resistance
Did he say "Woolson"?
That's the price of a 2005 Honda civic lmao yea fucking right
That would be awesome. So much better than the sound of regular bouncing basketballs.
2.5k!? I’d buy a 3D printer first…
Ali G was right all along. If only Kobe was still here
Wait a minute, there IS air inside that thing
I googled trypophobia only to find that I have trypophobia!!😟😟😟
Why did you dub a funny vioce?
How heavy is this $2500 ball that no one will ever buy? 🤔 Is it the same as a regular bball?
Temu will have it for $25 next week
2,500 $ is not much, it's even cheap 😅
Real #1 question is why?
Its defo not airless
Original is better by far
The transition at the end was so smooth
My dumbass thought: "this is really progressive, you never need to pump it up, making it more cost effective over long periods of time" acting like the air you pump into the ball costs money.
I fully wasn’t paying attention and was so surprised to see the voice matching your lips and then I realized you’re actually speaking on the video. I thought it was just another voiceover like all the other vids Ive been watching today haha
this’ll be $6.99 at target in about 10 years
i went from Oooooh when i heard it to WUT when he said the price
Basketball has its own mass and a velocity because of its solid and monolithic matter. That air ball is just air ball which may sway at mid air when thrown
"Make it smell like new shoes, they'll love it!" 😆😆😆🤷
Does it travel through the air relatively the same?
Wow
