The Inaugural ABA Basketball
At the start of the inaugural season of ABA play in 1967, league officials used this design for the very first prototype ABA basketball. It was only used for a few weeks – until the now iconic, original ball design started being used. Never before offered for sale, a limited number of these balls are now available to collectors, while supplies last!
- Official 29.5" full-size basketball
- Made of composite leather
