I pumped up a Basketball to 60 PSI, at about 55 it started making crackling noises, when I got to 60 PSI the crackling noise was constant and within 2 seconds of reaching 60 PSI the ball exploded. The ball was a Wilson Optima Rubber Basketball .
For NBA regulation basketballs, the requirement is between 7.5 and 8.5 psi. Your basketball may vary, and if it does, the packaging should state how much psi should be used.

According to NBA Rule 1, Section B, Article 6a:
" The ball shall be an officially approved NBA ball between 7 1 /2 and 8 1 /2 pounds pressure. "
7 1/2 and 8 1/2 psi
between 7 1/2 and 8 1/2 pounds pressure
The gauge on your pump, if you have one.
About 8 PSI

Tire gauge, and some basketball and bicycle pumps.
Somewhere between 8-10 PSI

The average breaking point of wood varies depending on the type of wood and its quality. In general, the breaking point of wood is around 40-80 MPa (megapascals) for softwoods and 80-120 MPa for hardwoods. These values can vary based on factors such as moisture content, grain orientation, and presence of defects.
