Just so we're on the same page, a weighted basketball is it's own thing, it is NOT a medicine ball.
Dribbling is stressful to your arms, especially starting out. If you don't keep up with dribbling, you'll end up losing control over the ball after a few bounces - especially when dribbling/running. Watch children play basketball with a regulation ball, you'll see what I mean, it's significantly heavier for them, not to mention oversized.
But you're basically an adult - you're stronger, but nah you're the same. You'll just experience the stress differently. You just might think you're clumsy with the ball, but the fact is your motor skills needs some exercise.
The heavy ball should be used primarily for stationary dribbling drills; take it slow. Cycle through the heavy ball and normal ball. Here's a good resource for some drills you might want to take up with the heavy basketball.
Oh yeah, don't look at yourself dribbling - watch some TV or something while you do the drills.
