What does an air ball mean?

1, airball is a term of basketball, which not only exists in the NBA, but also means not touching the board, the basket or the net.

The English word "Airball" literally means air ball, which means "air ball" in basketball. In basketball, the situation that the ball thrown by the shooter does not touch the board, basket or net is called "air ball". In contrast, the hollow ball, in English, is just net, which means that the ball passes through the basket very simply without touching the basket and backboard. People who often play basketball often make fun of someone who throws airball as "basketball in outer space" (outer space), that is, nothing is touched.
