A lot of leagues use this one. I own one and it is awesome. Highly recommend. It's an indoor ball only.

I did get to check out the Jordan Champion ball, but like most other Nike balls, it felt slippery even when deflated! Couldn't get a good grip on it. Fantastic design on it though.
I think for the money, the Reebok is probably the best bang for the buck.

1) How would this ball measure up with use indoors? Is it going to rip apart?
2) Will it keep its grippy feel months down the line? I'm going to be playing with it abour 2-4 hours per week.
3) Would water or dirt affect the sticky grip of it?
In my experience, many new basketballs tend to have a tacky coating that makes them extremely grippy at the get-go. However, after repeated use, they lose a bit of that starting grip and develop a groove of "not too slick but not as grippy as it was in the store".

Re: Looking to Buy New Basketball - Tips?
The evolution is the only way to go IMO man... There might be a better ball out there somewhere, but an evolution never disappoints. I have had it for 4 years and it's still grippy. Best 50 bucks I ever spent.
And like Rake said TF-1000 is good too. It's the only other ball I will agree to play with lol... I have walked into gyms not knowing anybody basically forcing them to use the evolution. Sometimes they get kind of angry but the evolution is a real ego checker. Most people get it in their hands and they are like oooohhh lol

Re: Looking to Buy New Basketball - Tips?
I like this one
The evolution is okay but to me it feels kind of hard or something. The NCAA ball has a much better feel IMO
