ABSTRACT:
A basketball apparatus includes a base and a vertically reciprocating mechanism on the base. A hoop support is connected to the mechanism, such that motion of the mechanism causes motion of the hoop support. Also, a basketball hoop is attached to the hoop support, and an actuator pad is in communication with the mechanism such that the pad, when stepped on by a person driving to the hoop, activates the mechanism to thereby lower the hoop and facilitate a dunk.
