Best Answer

psi is a pressure and pound is a mass or weight. That is like apples and bananas.

EDIT: I think the question refers to a Basketball. For example, on my basketball it reads: "Inflate 7 to 9 LBS". This is very confusing indeed, with no mention of pressure. However, they actually mean, in this case, "LBS per square inch" - I don't know why it's not specified, but POUNDS in this case means POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH. Hooray for strange ways of specifying pressure!

psi is Pounds per Square Inch...so 9 pounds per square inch.

For example, basketballs typically read: "Inflate 7 to 9 LBS" which is confusing. They actually mean 7 to 9 PSI, for some reason. So, yes, inflate your basketball to 9psi.
