"The Rock" basketballs aren't bad either. We switch up between those and Evos at my gym.

Evos are garbage. Takes time to break them in and if you dont they pick up moisture very quickly.
Get you Andoncoda sports the rock basketballs. I had but lost the gym kinda hard to find for the low price I got it for.

Honestly Spaulding balls have the best grip for me. I can't palm an evolution ball because of the slipper/squishy feel of it. I haven't actually played with a molten ball recently. Probably over a decade ago but no one in NY is ballin with a $100 ball lmao.

The Official NBA Ball and the Molten FIBA GG7X. Those two are mine. But actual games, we always use EVO's. Until my NBA ball is all the way broken in

A guy yesterday had "The Rock", wasn't a bad basketball.

I hate 'The Rocks'. I like Evos okay but I mss the TF-1000s that I used in high school

It isn't a bad basketball.
I brought a few from a wholesaler and have a few to my friends and cousins for thier bday.
Hate is strong word, "The rock" ball has better feel and touch than any ball I've used. These new gen Evo are terrible they slip out your hands once the sweat moisture build up on them.

Best ball of all time tbh, those 1000s were the ball to play with in the late 2000s until the past 5 years. Wonder why they stopped making those balls...

They transitioned away from leather. We had them my senior year season and could never really get as good of a feel. In retrospect it wasn't a bad ball I was just being stubborn and liked what I liked.
*shrug* within a week all the evos I've had or played with have broken in great and I haven't had any issues. Easy palms off the dribble to go into shots/layups

Tf1000s were synthetic leather right?

Look at what showed up at my gym today ironically, are these the classic balls from back then or the newer versions...

The rock and official NCAA game ball are my top two...not a big fan of evo or Nike elite but there are a bunch of them around. Middle of the pack I don't mind but not my first choice are the Spalding TF 1000.

I think they switched at some point. I remember having one that was leather at one point. They had the deep channels too. Loved how it felt of the wrist flick on jumpers

Went to the Tent Sale yesterday at the Cow Palace, for BB boost, lots of Crazy Explosive 2017 High and Lows. College colorways and a few red and black in the Highs. Harden Vol. 1 Chalk Corals in various sizes and 1 pair of size 14 Crazylight Boost 2018 in the Black and Gold. Rose 7's in white and a few in the blue and black. Rose 8's in Gray and Blue. A lot of Dame 4's college colorways ASU and Florida. I went when they opened, some Ultra Boost on the initial rush but they got grabbed. BB boost were $60, Non Boost were $40 and premium boost like Ultra Boost, NMD's and 93/17 Boost were $80. People were scooping up NMD's, Ultra Boost were gone if you didn't get there 1st. Limit was 5 per style table so you could only buy 5 pairs of premium boost, 5 BB Boost and 5 non Boost. Apparel was all insane with clothes thrown all about, people were kinda savage looking through boxes. They are restocking each morning so if you're looking for anything, the best time is to go when it opens, get there early, the line was really long and I'm glad I got there early to grab what I got.

iirc, please someone correct me if i'm wrong, but the longer the sale last and item sits, the lower the price becomes too

It does, I know in past Tent Sales, each day the price on shoes would go down $5. I'm working through the weekend so I won't be headed back out to confirm but in years past that has been the case. I'd go on the 1st day and the last day to see if there were any steals at the end.

Here at the tent sale still got the stuff mooby mentioned. Not bad for $35-$60 but all the sizes are mixed up nothing in my size. Speedwrap ankle brace that Rose wore are $5 i think don't see a price marked for them.

Kind of off topic but is there any way to know when tent sales happen? I can't figure out how people find out about them

I didn't find out until last minute when a friend of mine who works for an Adidas outlet told me there was one going on. They used to post on eventbrite before but now its almost impossible to find out when and where they happen. From what I was told, they aren't doing as many as they had before.
