Three no-sticks are basketball terms, not only found in the NBA. They mean no-stick, no-stick, no-stick to the basket, and no-stick to the net.

The English word is "airball". Airball literally means air ball. In basketball, it means "three non-sticks". In basketball, when the ball thrown by a shooter does not touch the board, the basket, or the net, it is called the "three non-sticks." The opposite is a hollow ball, which is nothing but net in English. It means that the ball falls through the basket very simply without touching the basket or backboard. People who often play basketball often make fun of someone who shoots a three-point shot as "hollow outside the basket" (outside the basket), that is, nothing is touched.
