3 year old loves it
My 3 year old loves playing with a basketball indoors so being from the Bay Area, this was just perfect. It's nice and soft and 3 year old is able to throw and catch it well and offers a peace of mind knowing they won't hurt themselves with the ball or damage anything in the house with it. Looks great and feels great. Highly recommend for kids that love the Warriors!

Great ball
Great display item for a Spurs fan. The logo really pops off of the black ball.

Bounces awesome
I’d give it a 5 but maybe a little smaller than I thought and decal started to lift off ball fairly quick. My grandson age 7 really loves it for shooting hoops in the garage

Fun fan ball
My boys love stuff like this! Great little foam ball that fits in small indoor hoops. It's fun to have your favorite team's logo on the ball, but you do pay for it. In my opinion, this ball is only worth about half the cost, but you do have to pay up for the official logo.

Small foam ball
This is a 5 inch small foam ball with the logo of your favorite team! Good quality and works great as a display piece as much as a fun ball to throw around especially if you have a small hoop on your door!

great gift for a Spurs fan
This is a nice soft mini basketball that is just the right size for my kid's indoor mini hoop. He's a big Spurs fan so he loves it. Very nice quality and soft and squishy, so perfect for indoor use. Love it!

Great!
This little basketball is exactly as shown here. It is well made from good quality rubber.Mine did need some air added when it arrived, but not too terribly much.

Mostly Authentic Looking Foam Basketball With Surprisingly Good Weight and Bounce. Crisp Graphics
This review is for the FRANKLIN SPORTS NBA Mini Foam Basketball (Team Name: Golden State Warriors). I received a free taxable sample of this basketball to review in my search for a foam basketball to use with my indoor mini hoops set.The basketball arrived wrapped in a branded and decorated cardboard sleeve with various bits of NBA graphics, some manufacturing information, and the team logo on the basketball showing on opposite sides of the sleeve. The basketball can be gifted as is tied with ribbon or covered with tissue paper and placed within a gift bag with a tag.The basketball weighs 139 grams and has a 17" circumference which comes close to the advertised 5 1/2" diameter. As per the product information, the basketball is constructed of a polyurethane foam. The foam appears to have been injected into a mold as there is a line from where the two halves of the mold came together. In terms of looks, the basketball is patterned after a traditional 8-panel basketball and the semi-glossy blue color of the foam is fairly true to the blue color of the current Golden State Warriors logo. The only non-blue colored items on the ball are a small white painted product label and the matte yellow circle around the matte yellow Bay Bridge logo on opposite sides of the ball. Both the product label and logos are nicely rendered with crisp lines and consistent color.Note: there is no lettering on the ball for "Golden State" or "Warriors".The basketball is patterned after an authentic NBA 8-panel basketball complete with a pebbled surface and inset "seams". The ball has a good weight with a surprisingly good bounce given its foam construction. The feel of this basketball is much better than the rubberized air-filled mini basketballs or tiny foam basketballs that come with most mini hoops sets. In fact, you'll want to make sure to match this basketball up with a reasonably sturdy mini hoop - I learned this the hard way after it destroyed one of the flimsy plastic hoops I was testing with. I like that the manufacturer strategically placed the foam join line inside one of the "seams" and that the logo is inset to help reduce wear and tear. That being said, there is already a touch of visible wear from the soft foam impacting harder surfaces.Overall, this foam basketball is nicely constructed with good graphics, surprisingly good feel, and bounce. I recommend this as a good option to pair with a mini hoops set, especially if you're a Dubs fan.
