Abstract
A basketball system may include a support structure that is sized and configured to support a basketball goal above a playing surface. The basketball system may also include a connecting structure that interconnects the basketball goal and the support structure. For example, the connecting structure may include a first pair of arms with one end connected to the basketball goal and another end connected to the support structure. The connecting structure may also include a second pair of arms with one end connected to the basketball goal and a rim assembly, and the other end connected to the support structure. The connecting structure may further include a third pair of arms with a first end connected to the rim assembly and a second end connected to the support structure. The third pair of arms is preferably disposed between the first pair of arms and the second pair of arms.
