No, basketballs are impossible to be pig bladders because they would rot after time yes cause some people in some country's are to pov to buy leather to make a ball so they get pig and sheep bladders and wrap cloth around them. They last for more than a week before they need replacing. pig bladders are not the Basketball material anymore cuz they would totaly rot after a couple dayz! it could be possible to make one out of that.. but i highly doubt it.. so technically my answer is NOO.. The first basketballs were leather soccer balls (the early game eschewed much dribbling) and contained a pair of rubberized pig bladders to hold the air. These were then encased in a cloth bag to hold them in position. This technique was the the standard air bladder for footballs, soccer balls and Rugby balls until the 1920's The first basketballs were leather soccer balls (the early game eschewed much dribbling) and contained a pair of rubberized pig bladders to hold the air. These were then encased in a cloth bag to hold them in position and then covered with a patchwork leather cover. This technique was the the standard air bladder for footballs, soccer balls and rugby balls until the 1920's.

No, basketballs are made out of really high quality rubber, leather, or a synthetic composite. Leather basketballs are the more traditional made ones, but the other types of basketballs are used as well. Basketballs made from high quality rubber are usually made in China. Rubber basketballs are made out of a very strong substance, which, when the air in the basketball is pressed down upon hard, the particles push up. This forces the basketball to come back up.

It all depends on who the ball is made for! An NBA basketball is made of composite leather, a synthetic material designed to withstand slam dunks and allow all-stars like Kobe Bryant to keep a good grip as they go for the ally-oop! WNBA ballsare also made of composites but are slightly smaller because female players tend to have smaller hands. High school and college stars use real leather balls sometimes. Rubber balls are for novice players and are great for street games because of their durability. Beneath the surface, deep within each basketball lies a gridwork of nylon, rubber, and a material called butyl. These layers help the ball stand up to hours of double dribbles.
