ABSTRACT:
A basketball game which can be played in bed by a sick person for exercise. The basketball hoop is secured to the backboard by use of integral end supports which fit into spaced spring-like fingers. The back of the hoop has a downwardly extending integral support which prevents the hoop from falling below a horizontal position perpendicular to the backboard. The hoop has a slot in the front and the net is slit so that a ball attached to a line can pass through the hoop and the line can pass through the slot and slit so that the player can retrieve the ball. The backboard is supported by a base which has frontward extending pieces that will fit between a mattress and spring for supporting the backboard and hoop in an upright position.
