Dribbler balls, a franchise in hand
The Dribbler balls are small rubber basketballs, featuring the colours and logo of a franchise: they can be bounced, thrown with one hand, or lined up on a shelf. Almost the entire league is represented, from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Portland Trail Blazers, from the Miami Heat to the Toronto Raptors, the Canadian franchise. Their small size makes them suitable for young children, allowing them to learn dribbling without getting hurt fingers, and they make for an easy gift to slip into a bag or Christmas stocking. Collecting balls from several franchises, both East and West, quickly turns into a collection game for young fans.

The NBA Tribute ball of the New York Knicks
The NBA Tribute ball pays tribute to a franchise: here the New York Knicks, founding members of the league in 1946, who play at the Madison Square Garden, in the heart of Manhattan. It carries the signature of Wilson, supplier of the official NBA ball from 1946 to 1983, and again since 2021, for the league's seventy-fifth anniversary. The game ball is distinguished by its eight panels and leather, while a supporter ball has a more durable coating, suited for outdoor play. Adorned with the logo and the blue and orange colours of the Knicks, it can be played on a playground or displayed in a fan's room.
The Larry Bird jersey of the Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics jersey with the name of Larry Bird celebrates one of the greatest forwards in history. Arriving in Boston in 1979, Bird won the NBA title in 1981, 1984, and 1986, and he was named regular season MVP three years in a row, from 1984 to 1986. His rivalry with Magic Johnson and the Lakers revived the league's popularity in the 1980s. The Celtics' green and the number thirty-three make it a classic. Like any basketball jersey, it is sleeveless and cut loose: one usually takes their normal size for a close fit, a size up for more comfort.
Shorts and caps: Lakers and Bulls in daily life
The Los Angeles Lakers shorts, made of faded fabric, feature the purple and gold of the franchise, which settled in Los Angeles in 1960 after starting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the state of ten thousand lakes that explains its name. The caps Lakers, in Elite Neutrals with subtle tones or Seasonal, and the faded cap of the Chicago Bulls, a franchise founded in 1966, display the logos without being too flashy. The models with a curved visor adjust with a strap at the back, making them suitable for most head sizes, both adult and teen. Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to plan fans' gifts before the holidays.
Frequently asked questions
What size basketball for a child?
Size five is suitable for children up to about eleven years old, size six for those under thirteen and for girls, size seven for boys from fourteen years old and for men. A ball appropriate for their hand makes dribbling easier and instills confidence in shooting.
What is the height of a NBA basket?
The hoop is set at 3.05 meters above the ground, or ten feet, and has a diameter of 45 centimeters, just like in international competitions. For a child, an adjustable hoop allows starting lower and rising up over the years.
What are the dimensions of an NBA court?
The NBA court measures 28.65 meters by 15.24 meters, or 94 feet by 50, slightly larger than the FIBA court of 28 meters by 15. The three-point line is also further away, up to 7.24 meters from the hoop.
How to maintain an NBA jersey?
Wash it inside out, at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, to preserve the letters and numbers. Dry it flat or on a hanger, never in the tumble dryer, as the heat can peel or crack the printing.
How to wash an NBA cap?
By hand, in warm soapy water, using a soft brush for stained areas, then air dry it placed on a bowl to keep its shape. The washing machine may distort the visor and cause the embroidered logo to bleed.
