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.
