Talk:Basketball (ball)

message: Hey folks, i just spent an hour or two overhauling this article and i think I've done enough for now, I may have included too much information in the part about specifications from the different leagues, but i think it is a fairly useful reference because most people curious enough to look up an actual basketball would be curious about the specifics as well, even still some of it can probably go. I also linked from to Basketball (the game). The article still needs a lot of work, especially when it comes to history and i think i am guilty of using some of the bad style points from the last edits and adding to them to make them more cogent instead of removing them entirely, anyway ill probably be done with all of my revisions in the next 24-48 hours, which will probably include adding a lot of links and trying to beef up some of the information that is lacking, so it would probably be best if you held off on cutting some of my unsourced statements until monday or tuesday. Otherwise id be happy to get some help on this, its been quite a bit of work. Wlf211 01:02, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Do we really need five pictures of different basketball brands in a row?  It reeks of advertising. klosterdev (talk) 01:28, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why so many pictures? 

message: I expected to find the sizes of basketball on this page. Something like a table perhaps.
Size	Type            	Circumference (cm)
3   	Mini            	56 - 57
5   	Youth           	69 - 71
6   	Women's official	72 - 74
7   	Men's official  	75 - 76
There don't seem to be size 4 basketballs, but there are size 4 netballs, and those are 63-66cm  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.42.183 (talk) 19:21, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sizes 

message: I did a word search in the article and only found the mention of pressure with regard to adjusting for change in temperature. But what is the official inflation pressure, other than what is found imprinted on a basketball? I don't have a basketball in front of me to look for myself, and want to know outside of resorting to doing an internet search. Of course that's easy enough, but a complete one-place information source is better. Nice article otherwise.
