Review: Best FIBA basketball! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Pro-Level Basketball I’ve been watching EuroBasket this year and couldn’t help but notice how cool the Molten BG5000 looked on the court. I decided to pick one up here on desertcart, and I’m really glad I did. Right out of the box, the ball felt a little slippery — but that’s expected since this is genuine leather, not composite leather like the Wilson Evolution. Genuine leather basketballs need to be broken in, and after putting in some playing time, the grip has become absolutely incredible. The feel is premium, the bounce is consistent, and I can tell this ball will last for years once fully broken in. In my opinion, the Molten BG5000 is a better choice than the Wilson Evolution. Not only does it offer that authentic pro-level leather feel, but it also comes in at a slightly lower price point ($95 vs. $100 for the Evolution). If you want a durable, professional-quality basketball with amazing long-term grip, I’d highly recommend the BG5000.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this real? I’m at 50 bucks cheaper than the official site**
A: Balls are guaranteed authentic . Some people purchase wholesale during promotions so seeing a ball that’s already marked up to begin with being almost half off is not crazy . On the right day you can get this ball straight from molten website for around 105 after taxes

Great quality basketball

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, would buy again
*by D***Y on October 15, 2025*

Basketball is great, does take some time to break in. But even fresh out the box it was ready to go. Played a couple games of 21 and 5 v 5 with this ball and no one complained.
