Designed to sit in a driveway, backyard, or any other open space, this Spalding 44-inch portable basketball system will turn your paved landscape into a jump-shooting haven. The system starts with a 44-inch eco-composite backboard, which uses 40 percent less plastic than traditional units. This not only makes the backboard more eco-friendly, but it also increases the rigidity for better rebounding. The system also includes a single-wheel, 26.5-gallon base that fills with sand or water for maximum stability and safety. And hops-challenged players will love the hoop's telescoping pole system, which lets you adjust the height below 10 feet for easier dunking. Other features include a standard rim; a metal undercarriage to strengthen the system; and a three-piece, 2.75-inch-diameter round pole.
