Basketball AccessoriesHere's a quick reference regarding a few of the main components and basketball equipment you can buy for your residential basketball court.
Basketball hoops and poles For the most part, portable basketball hoops with water or sand weighted bases do the trick. It's definitely handy if you want to move the hoop to a new home or get rid of it when the youngster finally realizes he's better at fishing. And when buying a weighted basketball hoop, look for a 2-foot overhang. Anything less and you may end up with a nasty bump at the end of your layup drills. Speaking of nasty bumps, did I mention lawsuits? Kids love to come over and play on a nice hoop, whether you've allowed it or not. If you're not there to supervise or shoo them away, a layer of thick padding is a nice way of protecting the both of you from unwanted cranial fractures and litigation.
There is no doubt, these are a very entertaining way of making believe that you are an NBA superstar. Narrating your drive to the hoop a la Marv Alberts is rather anti-climatic if finished with a fizzling layup instead of an authoritative slam dunk. |
