Wilson Evolution Basketball —
The eternal argument between Hoop players all over the world is not scoring or fouls or money. The eternal argument is if the player is effected by the rock or is the rock effected by the player. Another words, is LeBron as good a player with a $12 rubber basketball as he is with the $120 leather NBA ball? Does the rock make the player?Well the Wilson Evolution Game Ball kind of splits this argument down the middle. Made of composite leather, the Evolution has the nice slip and feel of a more expensive ball. At the same time, the Wilson Evolution has none of the hard rubber feeling of cheap playground balls. The Evolution will give you some play off the rim and backboard, where rubber will just brick out. However, the Evolution in no way stacks up to the T-1000 or NBA Game Balls, both of which make you feel like Larry Bird or Magic Johnson when you touch them.
My opinion is that a real player can play with any rock. His skill as a player will adapt to the characteristics of the ball in which he finds himself playing. If the rock made the player, then we could all go out and buy a T-1000 and then go play ball at North Carolina or UCLA. No, that's just a playground excuse. The Wilson Evolution Game Ball proves that once and for all, over and over again
