Benefits of technology

[0007]A basketball hoop assembly kit is disclosed which comprises an elongated hollow storage or shipping tube having closed ends with at least one of the ends being able to be opened to permit the contents of the tube to be removed therefrom. A thin flexible sheet which is rolled into a tubular form is positioned in the tube. The flexible sheet has a front side and a back side and the sheet, when unrolled, has the appearance of a basketball backboard. The back side of the sheet has a pressure sensitive removable or semi-adhesive material thereon. The adhesive material is covered with a peelable member for storage and / or shipment. The adhesive material enables the sheet to be selectively removable secured to a wall and to be removed therefrom without leaving any marks or adhesive residue thereon.

Problems solved by technology

Even though most of the hangar brackets are lined with a cushion material to prevent damage to the door upon which they are placed, damage sometimes still occurs to the door.
In other prior art miniature basketball hoop devices, a backboard with a hoop or rim attached thereto is nailed or screwed to a wall which detracts from the portability of the device and which also causes damage to the wall.
