Installing an in-ground basketball hoop can also take a lot of tools and specialized equipment. Digging a hole large enough for the basketball hoop post is not easy to do by hand, and if you don`t have an auger or backhoe, you may need to rent equipment to complete the task.

As long as you have a hoop that is at least as wide as the diameter of the ball, two balls can fit through at once. The standard size of a basketball hoop is 10 feet in height and 24 inches in diameter. Even if you throw the ball off-balance, you`re bound to dunk like Jordan.

It has a sturdy steel rim that can handle fierce dunks and drives, and you can adjust the height of the rim to anywhere between 7.5 feet and the league-standard 10.

Sand is more expensive and more difficult to put in the base, but it will not evaporate like water. Water is significantly easier and cheaper than filling with sand. Water can freeze and if you live in a cold region, the water may possibly crack your base.

The smaller-sized backboards, typically between 44″ and 54″, save on space and are good for a standard two-car driveway. The 60″ backboard is a great midway point, saving space but still offering a larger size for banking shots. Backboards generally come in two distinct shapes: rectangular and fan-shaped.

Simply place a level on the sides of the pole to check it for levelness. You can loosen the top nuts slightly and adjust the bottom nuts to move the system up or down on the corner which needs leveling. When the system is level, simply tighten all nuts against the pole system.

Have one person climb the ladder and place one end on the tape measure at the front tip of the rim so it is even with the TOP side of the rim. Drop the tape measure straight down to the playing surface to check the distance. The tape measure should read 10 feet for regulation basketball, typically ages 11 and older.

Basketball rims should be hand welded, stay away from automated “spot welded” rims. These rims do not have the holding strength to give long term durability. Finally, the steel the rim is constructed from should be protected from rust using a high quality powder coat finish for durability.

A backboard shattering (also known as backboard breaking or backboard smash) is an accident or stunt in basketball. It occurs when a player performs a slam dunk with sufficient force to shatter the tempered glass of the backboard, often causing the hoop to break off as well.

Ways to secure the basketball goal include: filling the base with water, sand, base gel or using a weighted base anchor system. Adding water to the base is as simple as hooking a hose to the base hole. This is a cheaper and easier option than sand.

Section I—A Player Shall Not: Touch the ball or the basket ring when the ball is sitting or rolling on the ring and using the basket ring as its lower base or hang on the rim while the ball is passing through.

In 1956, in response to reports that Wilt Chamberlain was able to dunk free throws, the NCAA established a rule requiring that free-throw shooters keep both feet behind the free-throw line during an attempt. The NBA later adopted this rule.

Steve Nash, Los Angeles Lakers

Not being able to dunk hasn`t hindered Steve Nash at all during a 17-year NBA career. Nash managed to win back-to-back MVP awards with the Phoenix Suns in 2005 and 2006.

If you`re relatively short, then you have your work cut out for you. Developing a one-handed dunk requires less vertical ability than a two-handed dunk, and, for most players, jumping off of one foot from a running start makes it easier to jump high enough to dunk.

The NBA does not utilize double rims, opting instead for a modified single rim with an integrated “tube-tie net system”. This system is designed to prevent players` fingers from inadvertently getting caught on the hooks found on traditional rims.

That`s mainly because the NBA is the only league that plays with a 100% leather ball, which can be smoother and harder to handle than the composite material on virtually every other ball.
