What is another word for airball?
Pronunciation: [ˈe͡əbɔːl] (IPA) 
Airball is a term commonly used in basketball when a shot completely misses the rim and backboard. But instead of always using the same word to describe this type of shot, there are plenty of synonyms that can be used to spice up your basketball vocabulary. Some options include brick, clanker, miss, whiff, fail, blunder, botch, and screw up. Each of these terms adds a slightly different connotation to the shot, making it seem more intentional or accidental, more devastating or forgivable. So the next time you witness an airball, consider using a synonym to express yourself and impress your fellow basketball fans.
