They are made of leather or composite leather. The composite leather balls are less expensive. The NBA Official Game Ball is a Top Grain Leather Basketball. The Wilson NCAA Official Game Ball is covered in moisture wicking composite leather.

Basketballs are made using leather, composite leather or rubber as the covering.

Rubber balls may be all rubber and can be used in water indoors and out. Leather and composite leather basketballs are indoor balls and more expensive. The leather balls give better grip are more uniform and retain their shape better than rubber.
