This is helpful… now I understand why my entirely deflated basketball doesn’t bounce. I will inflate it now.

Another fun fact: the little whole that you use to inflate the basketball opens up when you push the air pump needle through. Then closes back up (almost entirely, but not entirely) when you remove the needle. This way, the air inside the basketball can stay at a high pressure for a long time. Without you needing to screw on a cap like you do with your car tire or bike tire.
