The NBA's ball has been produced by Spalding since 1983, but looking ahead to 2020-21, Wilson will be taking over the rights and thus will produce balls for the WNBA, NBA G League, NBA 2K League and Basketball Africa League.
The end of an era. Prior to 1983, Wilson had been the league's partner in manufacturing its balls dating back to 1946, the starting year of the NBA.
1946-1983: Wilson
1983-2020: Spalding
2021- Wilson
Should we expect Wilson to hold this partnership for an other 37 years, keeping in tradition?
