Christmas Wilson: the NBA ball to give as a gift

The gift of sleepless nights in front of the NBA

A Wilson is the logo that fans see bouncing at every game. Giving it at Christmas means giving them a piece of the league to dribble or display on their shelf, with no clothing size to guess.

Playing outside with the NBA range

For outdoor play, the NBA DRV Plus and the NBA Authentic Series Outdoor take on the look of the game ball, with a cover designed for asphalt. The MVP, simple and sturdy, is also available in packs of ten for basketball schools.

Evolution and 3x3 for the gym

The Evolution is an indoor ball made of composite leather, known for its soft feel and grip, widely used in American gyms. The FIBA 3x3 ball has a specific feature: the circumference of a size 6 and the weight of a size 7. Wilson is the official ball of this Olympic discipline, and the page offers the supporter version, available individually or in bulk.

Franchises, players and Dribbler balls

For supporters, the Tribute balls and City editions sport the colours of a team, from the Spurs to the Lakers. The Player Icon balls highlight league stars. The tiny Dribbler balls cater to each franchise: an ideal stocking stuffer. WNBA fans also have their balls.

American football too

Wilson provides the official NFL ball, the famous “The Duke”. The page also gathers American footballs, from junior size to official size, for the family Super Bowl fan.

Other brands, other uses

For an FFBB approved ball, one for club games, check out the Christmas Molten balls. Spalding, long the NBA ball, also speaks to nostalgic fans. Nike focuses on rubber for playgrounds, and Baden Sports on American high school basketball. All balls are on the Christmas balls page.

To spend less, keep an eye on the Black Friday Wilson balls page before the holidays, then on the sales. The new arrivals feature the latest balls.

Frequently asked questions

Which Wilson NBA ball can I give without breaking the bank?

A Dribbler ball in their franchise colours, or an MVP for outdoor play. These are the lower-priced options from the brand, and several fit into the gift ideas under 50 €. For an indoor ball, expect to spend more.

Is a ball in a team's colours for playing or collecting?

It depends on the model. Some can handle asphalt, while others are more suited for a shelf or a child's room. Check the surface mention on the listing. For a ball aimed primarily for play, compare with the Christmas balls page.

Is the FIBA 3x3 ball suitable for a child?

Not really before adolescence: it weighs as much as a size 7. A child in U11 plays with a size 5, while a U13 uses a size 6. For a first club ball that’s suitable, check the Christmas Molten balls page.

Wilson or Spalding for a NBA fan?

Wilson for the fan of today, as it’s the current ball of the league. Spalding for those who grew up watching the finals from the nineties and early two thousands. Both have their pages, including the Christmas Spalding balls page.

What should I do if the desired ball is no longer available?

Check the timely Christmas delivery page: it only shows items in stock, shipped within 24 hours. Choose a similar model, from the same range or franchise, and order without delay.
