We used chewed up, almost dried bubble gum to get it out when it happened to us.

Good Luck! If the needle is still in the valve, let the air all bleed out and push it through once the ball is flat enough. If the needle has fallen through and is rattling around inside, you'll wreck the ball trying to get it out. Play on--it won't hurt a thing.

What do you fill a basketball with?

Regular air is perfectly acceptable. To fill it, get a bike pump with a small needle that will fit the small black hole on your basketball and pump air through the tube on the system, through the needle and into the basketball until it is inflated as much as you like. You can buy a bike pump/air pump at almost anywhere including walmart or walgreens.

you need a balloon and a needle like a pump needle or a cooking needle. blow the balloon up to the max and use a paperclip to keep the air in the balloon. then cut off the tip of the balloon. afterwards use it to keep the needle in the balloon then put the needle in the ball take the clip off and wait. it might not inflate it all the way up but it will do some good until you get a real pump.

The same thing happened to me. You will just need to go out there and buy a new needle or pump and needle. The first time it broke for me, but I am able to take it back for a new one because it is not working properly. So, if you are able to, return it or just buy another one.
