No more than 9 pounds per square inch (psi). But enough so that it is not flat and can be bounced up to your waist if dropped from above your head with your hands extended.

If a basketball is flat, it gets stuck on the ground and goes nowhere. If you put alot of air in it, it might explode, so don't put too much. Put just about alot but not too much, the perfect amount almost, where you can poke it a little bit, and it goes really high.

How does the air pressure in a room differ from the air pressure in a basketball?
Air pressure in a room is less than that of a basketball since it does not crush the basketball. Think of the crushed can experiment. If you empty a soda can, flip it upside down, put it (carefully) on a boiling pot of water, the can will fill with hot air. You then transfer the can on a container with cold water (making sure the opening of the can is covered with the cold water). You should see the can implode or at least the outside air pressure (since it's greater than that of the air pressure in the can) crush the can. Opposite of the basketball.
Why would you pump a flat basketball?
As air fills the basketball, the pressure expands outward to make the outside of the ball feel harder. The valve on the outside of the ball allows the pump to put air in prevents air from escaping.
