Abstract: A basketball having a surface devoid of lines, seams stitching or other markings that span the circumference of the ball for forming a uniform and continuous surface. The seamless basketball has a uniform stippling along its entire surface and integrally a part thereof and may have a logo printed thereon. The ball is formed from a molded outer cover formed from two hemispheres having an inflatable bladder positioned therein. The inflation valve is hidden from view under the cover or, if exposed, is flush with the cover and of the same color as the cover. The lack of seams, stitching or other markings spanning the circumference of the outer surface of the ball causes the ball to have no particular orientation. Therefore, the user of the seamless basketball is not inclined to align the ball in a particular fashion prior to shooting the same. As such, wasted time is eliminated and a quicker release and greater concentration is gained.

Abstract: A basketball having a surface devoid of lines caused by indentations, seams, stitching, indicia or the like for forming a uniform and continuous surface. The seamless basketball has a uniform stippling along its entire surface and integrally a part thereof. The ball is formed from a molded outer cover formed from two hemispheres having an inflatable bladder positioned therein. The inflation valve is hidden from view under the cover or, if exposed, is flush with the cover and of the same color as the cover. The lack of lines of any sort on the outer surface of the ball causes the ball to have no particular orientation. Therefore, the user of the seamless basketball is not inclined to align the ball in a particular fashion prior to shooting the same. As such, wasted time is eliminated and a quicker release and greater concentration is gained. Additionally, the ball is subject to a truer bounce because of the more uniform spherical nature of the same.
