Compact and efficient, it significantly decreases the time needed to inflate your ball.
Hoopers are always traveling to games, or going to visit the neighborhood court. So having a bag to carry a ball, water bottle, wallet, keys, and their slides can be a big win.

They also have a spacious main compartment that fits a standard size basketball.
