As you dribble the ball, the energy from your hand gets transfered to the ball, creating kinetic energy

By you dribbling you’re adding a force onto the ball so you convert Potential energy into Kinetic energy. This force you applied causes the ball to collide with the basketball court.

Hope this helps
