Man Is Suing For $5 Million In Damages For A Partially Deflated Basketball?

“Neverflat” basketballs from Spalding

The "Neverflat" basketballs from Spalding retail for about $29, and are guaranteed to "stay fully inflated for at least one year."

But a New York man has filed a class action lawsuit and claims...

to have watched the Neverflat basketball slowly lose air over 12 months' time. This man is being considered extremely unreasonable for filing this lawsuit.

While it’s not uncommon for some products to be defective

Most reasonable people only expect to be made whole by the company responsible for the product. Perhaps a replacement basketball.

The suit filed in the U.S. District Court for Southern New York Could Mean...

As much as $5 million in damages for Spalding and the suit could be a slam dunk for his plaintiffs' attorney, who could receive as much as 40% of the $5 million.

Jaish Markos is alleging that...

Russell Brands LLC made false claims about their "Neverflat" product.

And, while Markos is likely to receive pennies-on-the-dollar from any lawsuit settlement.

Funny enough, the remaining $3 million is enough to purchase
