Definition
An air ball in basketball is a missed shot that doesn't hit the rim or the backboard, only the air. It is considered a great embarrassment to shoot an air ball and often prompts "Air ball!" chants from opposing fans after the shot and whenever the player that shot the air ball touches the ball again.
