Because it loses momentum each time it bounces. That is why you use your hand to bounce the ball, giving it more momentum going down which causes it to hit the ground harder. During the spit second it hits the ground, the air pressure in the ball increases, causing it to bounce back up to your hand.

Double Bounce is a very fun basketball game that doesn't require a lot of running around and sweating.. the rules the game are, It starts out with one person taking a shot from the foul line, if they make that shot they get 2 points, now because they made that shot they get to keep taking foul shots to rack up as many points as they can (each foul shot is only 1 point after already receiving the 2 points) Now when they miss the next person in line has to let the basketball bounce 2 times before he or she can pick it up.. once it bounces twice that person has to throw it where they got the ball on the 2nd bounce.. then that person shoots if they get it they receive 2 points and then they go to the foul mark and keep shooting for 1 point until they miss.. once they miss the 3rd person wait 2 bounces and it repeats itself, also if a player waits 2 bounces and shoot where they got it and miss then the next person waits 2 bounces and so forth. Also if a person does NOT catch the ball on the 2nd bounce they lose there turn and the next person in line shoots it where the ball bounces the 2nd time.
