I have two hoops similar to yours Sit except that they are not Lakers hoops and I have them inside my garage, one in each end so when I move the cars out of the way, I have a little basketball court. Take that bitches. 8-)

Same here. I think I broke it 4-5 times, then fixed it and broke it again. I was a real highflyer back then.

BTW, mine had a shotclock at 1 second drewn on it. How cool is that? :lol: Yeah, I've made a lot game-winners thru my career.

I was very close to buying a shot clock for my hoop years ago, they were advertising them in OneonOne magazine all the time. Kinda wish I had've done it, thinking back.

Same, I've improved my dunking so much. Everytime I dunk at school (the rings are a little smaller then real height) I can pull off some crazy dunks everyone gets their phones out to vid record lol

You know if I could find a shot clock anyway ? That'd be pretty fucking good

Hehe I have one thats pretty ghetto in the back yard. The front of the rim is almost flat from when it fell over and landed on the cement.

Now its in the back yard, with dirt and grass as my "court". Doesn't matter much though, I just use it to work on shots that are 5 feet and closer... Which is what I need to work on. Theres also gardens and shit to the side and my parents get really pissed if the ball goes in there (cuz shit gets flattened), so I have to hustle my ass off to get the ball before it gets into the gardens.

Basically exactly the same here. Basketball. Grass. Dirt. Garden. Parents. Wow.

Hehe, when I had a hoop outside my dad used to park his car in front of it. It didn't bother me, I shot threes behind the car. After I caused one of the mirrors to break off he started to park the car elsewhere.

I got my ass kicked ofcourse.

I used to have a crappy one with a blue and red meshing. Sometime last year, I hung it on the door and broke it with a dunk.

I have the best one of all. Real Plexiglass backboard with the NBA court drawn on my driveway around it, I'll try to find a pic/take a pic of it.

EDIT: Fine then, I won't. Stupid snow, I don't feel like shoveling.

Yes, but 1) I won't get paid to do my own driveway, and 2) I don't live in the city so me 'shoveling' the driveway consists of getting out the snowblower and doing the entire 80-90 odd feet.
