It takes a few weeks of constant pounding and rubbing before the ball starts to soften. You have to be very patient with it but the reward of having the best Basketball is all worth the hard work. Constant massaging and hard dribbles for a couple of weeks. Another thing that you could do is to massage it and rub it with leather conditioner. This softens it out and gives it a really good grip and texture. Notice that at the beginning it feels artificial and bad. After breaking it in though it feels great.

It can take many years for leather to decay, depending on the conditions it is exposed to. Factors such as moisture, temperature, and exposure to sunlight can all affect the rate at which leather deteriorates. In ideal conditions, it can take decades for leather to completely break down.
There is no basketball degree.
About 1 hour.
Dont know sorry :'(
hundreds and hundres of years
Just about as long as it took you to spell that word right.
5 mins
It depends how long you practice every day
about a week i think but it may not be accurate
If he does break it, it will take probably 5 years
The taller the basketball player the longer it will take for the ball to hit the floor. The stronger he is though, will help the ball not take as long to hit the floor or court.
