A Basketball eventually stops bouncing due to energy loss from multiple factors, including air resistance and internal friction within the ball. Each time the ball hits the ground, some of its kinetic energy is converted into sound and heat, rather than being fully transferred back into upward motion. Additionally, the energy dissipates as the ball compresses and then expands, leading to reduced bounce height with each successive drop. Over time, these losses accumulate, causing the ball to come to a complete stop.

How Do you Use a basketball?

Well, first you have to put air in it to make it dribble. Then you can dribble it by dropping it on the ground and it will go back up then you push down on it again. Then you can shoot it, by putting your hands on the basketball while it is up by your face. Then you shoot it and flick your wrist, and over time you will get better at it. It just takes practice.
