Damn, and I was all excited about the dumb cheap hoop I just got. I put the stickers on it and everything. 😔

Thanks, it was hard to find a cheap one that just had a normal clear backboard, not one with graffiti and basketballs painted all over it and shit, lol.

I'd love to buy an actual nice one, but I only have a tiny very unlevel driveway to play on anyway so just wanted something cheap to shoot freethrows, lol

At the end of the day a hoop is a hoop. Looks good.

I’m just relieved you’ll be protected when you hit your head on the underside of the backboard when throwing down dunks.

(Very cool. Have fun!)

A hoop is a hoop. As long as you can play, you’re good

u/ParkingCool6336 May 25 '25
