Airball is a slang term commonly used in basketball to describe a missed shot that completely misses the rim, backboard, and net. It denotes an embarrassingly inaccurate or poorly aimed shot that results in the ball sailing through the air without coming anywhere close to scoring.
Example 1: During yesterday’s match, John attempted a three-pointer but ended up airballing it, much to the amusement of the opposing team.
Example 2: Sarah’s layup was way off target and ended up being an airball, causing her teammates to groan in disappointment.
Synonyms:
miss, brick, clank, clunker, fail
