Unboxing the $2500 Wilson Airless Gen1 Basketball

21 Comments

1. There will only be 75 of these sold. I'm assuming most will keep it as a collector's item rather than use it. Would you have the balls to use it?

2. It clearly does not bounce the same as a regular basketball and the impact of air resistance has to be pretty unpredictable on this thing when you take long distances shots and the air is swirling around inside the ball. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer but this doesn't since like a success.

3. "You have bounced so many balls in you'r life… LOL I think I know which balls he has bounced the most😅😂

4. Forget the ball, wash the R32 and give us a overview 🙌

5. $2,500 for a ball? Wilson can keep it..

6. That R32 in the background 😍

7. This Would be perfect for playing in my neighborhood without annoying everyone.

8. I had to watch 8 ads to finish this video

9. Yeah but the aerodynamics aren't the same as the usual basketball. I'm willing to bet that this will be forgotten about, and won't be used professionally. I like it though forsure.

10. That car in the back is dirty af !!

11. I see all the bounce tests but no shooting test, do you have to shoot it softer?

12. 5 min of selfserving infomercial before taking ball outta the box – 8 min before bouncing !

13. Wilson you have changed so much 😂 says tom Hanks from cast away

14. The annoying part is that small objects can stuck inside and small chance of getting rid of it

15. They've also sent one to Michael Jordan and he loves it.

16. Air goes in it all the time. Its not "air less"

17. Finally somebody invented a way to preserve all that oxygen that ends up being wasted in a basketball..

18. They won't take off. Not because it doesn't function like a normal basketball but because of the sound. I don't even play basketball or care about basketball but instantly know the sound and there's something nostalgic and satisfying and distinct about the sound of a real basketball. Take that away and you take away an intangible part of Basketball's soul.

19. China will have this for $20 in 6 months

20. May as well buy 50 regular ones for 2500

21. I wonder how well it will work during actual gameplay. Passing and shooting kind of stuff
