ABSTRACT:
A recreational device which is designed for shooting baskets with a selected game ball includes a support structure consisting of a telescoping support column, four support arms which are assembled into the support column, an adapter for fixing the orientation of the support arms, and a base for positioning and stabilizing the support column relative to the ground. In addition to the support structure the recreational device includes a basket which is positioned at an elevated level and which includes an annular hoop and a net connected to the hoop in a conventional fashion. The four support arms are attached to the annular hoop for support. A manually operated adjustment ring is provided for changing the length of the support column and thereby enabling the user to set the desired height for the basket. The recreational device provides all the features of a basketball goal without the use of a backboard. Consequently, shots may be taken from a complete 360 degree pattern with the basket located at the center of that circular pattern and all shots are therefore unobstructed by any structure such as a backboard.
