not looking to pay worst price but the best price
any place i can buy this instore?

Most major sporting retailers will sell limited edition seasonal balls, try Rebel
My top recommendation is the Spalding NBA Zi/O Excel, if you want a durable and quality indoor/outdoor ball. Handling and feel is great, takes little time to break in. Another is the Under Armour 495 Indoor/Outdoor basketball (takes a bit longer to break in but is a good option).
If your a bit more price conscious, then the Spalding NBA Cross Street is my pick. Made of a composite rubber instead of the synthetic leather of other indoor/outdoor balls. Feeling and handling are good and leagues better than cheap rubber basketballs i've seen.
Own experience is mainly from high school, play with mates and I do referee games for the local high school team as a hobby.
All those special grips wear to quickly and the balls becomes slippery once it's got some dust and dirt on it.
A decent quality ball from 100% rubber is the best for outdoor play.

now i'm thinking of getting this.
Honestly, good luck retaining the true grip after a few months of concrete outdoor court.
I'd highly recommend instead buying a replica composite leather off ebay

The quality is unnoticeable after a few weeks of wear, alternatively if you don't mind a design ball they will be discounting the post-2020 season NBA limited edition balls
The only real ball with discernable value over everything else is an indoor molton anyway, nothing compares with the feel
