Let \(X\) be a Banach space, \(X^*\) its topological dual, \(S(X)\) be the unit sphere and \(B(X)\) the unit ball. The space \(X\) is said to have property \(P\) if for a given sequence \((x_n)\subset S(X)\), \(d(y,[x_n])\to 1\) \(\forall y\in S(X)\Rightarrow x_n\overset{\text{weakly}}\rightarrow 0\). The Banach space \(X\) has the Mazur intersection property if each convex, closed and bounded set is an intersection of a family of balls. The Banach space \(X\) is called Asplund space if every convex continuous function defined on a convex open subset \(U\) of \(X\) is Fréchet differentiable on a dense \(G_\delta\) subset of \(U\). Let \(SC(b_X)\) be the set of continuous linear functionals which are sequentially continuous in \((B(X),b_X)\), where \(b_X\) is the ball topology. The main results stated in the paper are: 1) Each separable Banach space, with a Fréchet differentiable norm, has the \(P\)-property. 2) Each Banach space with the Mazur interaction property has the \(P\)-property. 3) A separable Banach space is an Asplund space if and only if it has the \(P\)-property. 4) A Banach space is reflexive if and only if each equivalent norm has the \(P\)-property. 5) A Banach space \((X,\|\cdot\|)\) has the \(P\)-property if and only if \(X^*= SC(b_X)\).
