ABSTRACT:
A portable basketball system that in a preassembled state is capable of disposition within an outer relatively flat container to assist in shipping. The basketball system comprises a pole, a backboard, a basketball goal, and a hollow ballast-receiving base. The pole has a proximate end and a distal end and comprises a plurality of pole sections. The backboard may be connected to the pole near the distal end of the pole. The basketball goal may be connected to the backboard. The hollow ballast-receiving base supports the pole in a stationary, substantially upward disposition when connected to the pole near the proximate end of the pole. This provides a pole upon which the basketball goal may be suspended at an elevation above a playing surface and the base. The base has a top and a bottom and an exterior contour for receiving and retaining the pole sections, backboard, and basketball goal within the container during preassembly thereby impeding shifting movement of the pole sections, backboard, and basketball goal within the container during shipping. The exterior contour of the base comprises a backboard recess disposed on the bottom of the base for receiving and retaining the backboard within the container, a goal recess disposed on the top of the base for receiving and retaining the basketball goal within the container, and a pair of notches disposed on the top of the base each notch for receiving and retaining at least on of the pole sections within the container.
