So I had one of these balls when I was a kid in the 90s. Played with it everyday. I know it was a promotion ball when they were in the playoffs with the bulls in the later 90s, but I can’t seem to get ANY actual info on the ball at all when I try to google it.
Anyone here have any additional knowledge, info, valuation, etc? This was a gift, and a massive nostalgic throwback for me.

Easy, basketball. Next question
Yep, looks like a ball to me
My childhood
This ball was thrown at my face. I remember, it was winter recess, and my nose hurt all day.
Those you could win at the traveling carnaval. Were a prize for the hoops game.
I think every child in the 90s had one of these
Game day give away it looks like. The advertising on the ball is why I think that.
I lost that over my fence…
Utah Jazz Basketball, by the looks of it.
My grandpa bought me one of these in the gift shop at my first ever Jazz game, game vs the spurs in 1998 or 1999
Ball, basket, teal and purple
The BEST ball. Man I def went into a 1000+ hours of use with this bad boy in my driveway hoop as a kid
These were sold in Walmart, Target, Fanzz, Big 5 and Peterson’s Sports during the mid-to-late 90’s. Half the kids in school seemed to have one.
It’s Wilson’s flamboyant friend from across town, Jazz.
Ball
Jazz
Your basketball.
Slam dunk
I think that’s my elementary school basketball… Feel free to return to me whenever it works for you.
Jr Jazz ball?
I won this at a fair!
I got one of those by playing a free throw game at the stadium. Pay a couple bucks, if you hit 2 free throws in a row out of 3 attempts you get the ball for free. Used those balls on my lowered rim to dunk on my friends while I played the jock jams on a boom box.
Everyone had that jazz ball and the spurs ball back in the day
