I know it's over but you do not need to go all boohoohoo just because you do not get to benefit from the sale. The good news is that the exhibition of the signatured balls will still be there until 13 March! If you are too lazy for Journey to the West, you can check out the pictures I've taken but I'm telling you the real things are way cooler!

James Harden signatured ball! 

Can you guess who's signature is this? 

They even have some basketballer at the event to rah-rah the crowd! But less swag as compared to me lah! 

Spalding became the official basketball of the NBA during the 1983-84 NBA season. Since that time, Spalding has been a part of the NBA's tremendous growth to 30 franchises, programming in 215 countries and territories in 47 languages, and NBA merchandise for sale in more than 125,000 stores in 100 countries on six continents.

So don't forget to visit Westgate's Sports Town and check out the exhibition and of course keep on balling!
