ABSTRACT:
An arcade-type foldable basketball game apparatus upon which games may be played using a basketball is provided, having a framework with a support portion and an extended portion pivotally connected to the support portion so that the extended portion is movable between an upright, storage position and a recumbent, ready-to-play position. The support portion is configured to maintain an upright disposition independent of whether the extended portion is disposed in the upright position or the recumbent position. The movement of the extended portion is controlled by a releasable catch and detent assembly for securing the extended portion in either the storage position or the ready-to-play position. One or two basketball goals are connected to the support portion of the framework and a ball return is connected to said framework to return basketballs shot at the goals by players to the players. Each basket scored is counted by a scoring mechanism which displays the time remaining in a game and the running and final scores.
