Basketballs are not at the top of the list of bouncebility (see tennis balls). Sorry
However balls bounce because they are deformed when they hit something and the rubber forces them back into a round shape which propels then off the surface they hit.
The more power in the rubbers desire to maintain its shape vs the weight of the ball determines its bounce.

What makes rubber balls bounce?
When a rubber ball is bounced, its molecular structure causes it to compress, but it cannot equalize the pressure by expanding on the other side, so the pent-up energy is rapidly used by decompressing the ball which causes the bounce.
Why does the pressure inside a basketball increase when you bounce it on the floor?

Does a cold rubber ball bounce?
Well, cold rubber balls do bounce, but warm rubber balls bounce better because when a cold rubber ball hits the floor, it generates heat instead of a rebound effect because the molecules are so close together that they collide with each other.
How high do bouncy balls bounce?
the ball bounce high cause of the air in the ball If there is more air pressure in the ball it will bounce higher likewise if there is less air pressure it will bounce lower. This could be done by exposing the ball in different temperatures. If the ball gets hotter it will bounce higher and if gets colder it will bounce lower.
