Basketball Price in Pakistan

Basketball

Created by James Naismith in 1891, basketball is one of the commonly played sports across the world. This is in part due to the fact that the game requires very little equipment; the main thing being the basketball itself. The size of a basketball is regulated, with the men's ball having a circumference of 29.5 inches and weighing 623.69 grams; for women, the size is 28.5 inches with a weight of 567 grams.

There are different kinds of basketballs for the different courts, this is due to the kind of bounce a wooden court has versus a concrete or cement one. Indoor courts are often wooden and the ball used on them is a leather one or one made from synthetic leather. The latter can also be used on an outdoor court.

The rubber ball is what is used more often for outdoor courts. It is also the cheapest to produce, with the pure leather one being the most costly.

All basketballs have pips on the outside that help improve the grip, with black curvy lines that make for the visual representation of basketball that is known all over.
