I wouldn't think so, but it may help with dribbling.
I would say yes but it all depends on how much air is in the basketball in question.
Basketballs are almost all made with the same materials. They have an inflatable rubber interior, which is then wrapped in layers of fiber. That's then covered rubber, synthetic composite, or the most common, leather.
They are made of leather or composite leather. The composite leather balls are less expensive. The NBA Official Game Ball is a Top Grain Leather basketball. The Wilson NCAA Official Game Ball is covered in moisture wicking composite leather.
The inside of a basketball is made of rubber, and the outside is made of leather or synthetic leather. Its physical properties are that it is hollow and spherical when inflated.
Basketballs in the olden days were made of leather but then again they used soccer balls too!
No, they are made of rubber. yes but a speciel type of latex/durable plastic very soft and very hard same time no
air and rubber
Today's basketballs are made out of rubber, not cow hide.

bi using rubber and air
Traditionally, basketballs were made using a rubber bladder (like a very sturdy rubber balloon) sealed inside of a sewn leather case. Later, a cloth lining was added between the rubber and the leather to add strength. Today, basketballs are made of flexible plastic shaped by a mechanical mold. The ball is pressurized by pumping air through a small hole on its side. It would be quite an undertaking to make a basketball yourself, but you could probably do it the old fashioned way if you really wanted to. You'd need to get some leather and sew the pieces together around a very sturdy inflated plastic ball or balloon. Sewing leather can be kind of tricky, but you can do it with a bit of practice and a tool called an awl.
the orange stuff is rubber on most basketballs.
