History of basketballs?
The first purpose-built basketballs were made from panels of leather stitched together with a rubber bladder inside. A cloth lining was added to the leather for support and uniformity (identity). A molded version of the early Basketball was invented in 1942. From 1967 through 1976 the American Basketball Association (or ABA) used a distinctive red, white and blue basketball that is still seen from time to time. For many years, leather was the material of choice for basketball coverings, however in the late 1990s, composite materials were put forth and have rapidly gained acceptance in most leagues due to their superior performance in harsh game conditions.

Were basketballs ever made of pig bladders?
No, basketballs are impossible to be pig bladders because they would rot after time yes cause some people in some country's are to pov to buy leather to make a ball so they get pig and sheep bladders and wrap cloth around them. They last for more than a week before they need replacing. pig bladders are not the basketball material anymore cuz they would totaly rot after a couple dayz! it could be possible to make one out of that.. but i highly doubt it.. so technically my answer is NOO.. The first basketballs were leather soccer balls (the early game eschewed much dribbling) and contained a pair of rubberized pig bladders to hold the air. These were then encased in a cloth bag to hold them in position. This technique was the the standard air bladder for footballs, soccer balls and rugby balls until the 1920's The first basketballs were leather soccer balls (the early game eschewed much dribbling) and contained a pair of rubberized pig bladders to hold the air. These were then encased in a cloth bag to hold them in position and then covered with a patchwork leather cover.
