The more air pressure within a basketball, the more capable it is to bounce efficiently, rather than a basketball with little air pressure.

Air pressure affects the bouncing of a Basketball by inflating or deflating it. Higher air pressure makes a basketball bouncier, resulting in more bounces, while lower air pressure reduces the ball's bounce. The correct air pressure for a basketball is usually around 7.5 to 8.5 pounds per square inch (psi).
