Adjustable height Huffy Sports Basketball hoop/backboard with Halogen LIGHT!
$120 or best offer.
This is a Huffy Sports NBA Edition, and about 5 years old. But you wouldn’t know that from its appearance. OK, maybe you would, but then you'd be a psychic!
Best feature is the light (see picture). The 500 watt Halogen light fixture (light bulb itself is about 6 feet above the hoop) FULLY illuminates the full shooting area around the hoop, and then some. I'd say it is great lighting for the full three point circle. The light was designed for a basketball hoop, and this kit alone cost me around $95. I think the hoop/backboard/stand was around $299. Don’t worry about the ball hitting it… it is almost directly above the hoop, and NO ONE shoots the ball on THAT much of an arch! Neither I nor my kids have ever hit the light while playing SERIOUS ball. And I’ll even include a new 20 or 25 foot extension cord if you buy it! Picture isn't the greatest, but I'm no pro with photographic stuff! If you look really close, you can see the black angled light poles above and to the right of backboard in the picture.
With the light, you can really irritate your neighbors by pounding the baseline at 11pm while they’re trying to sleep. Actually, it gets dark pretty darn early in the fall/winter, so you can still play till 9pm even when it gets dark at 5pm! Not too many neighbors will complain if you stop shooting then!
Used, but not abused. Newer net with no breaks in it anywhere (yet). Hoop height is easily and fully adjustable from about 5 feet to over 10 feet. Great for the little kid who wants to "be like Mike" to the adult who thinks he is like Mike. My kids have outgrown it, and being 51 myself, I think I have too…. It's just gotta go! The light stays in one position all the time; it does not adjust at all.
Spring loaded hoop, so the Plexiglas won't break when Michael Jordan comes over to shoot some hoops with you and your buds. Backboard is regulation size...not the smaller cheap version!
It is meant to have sand, concrete or water (add antifreeze if you use water!) added into the base container to make it sturdy. But I just chained it down into the ground via stakes, and that worked great the whole time we've owned it.
Delivery- interesting proposition. You can pick it up for no delivery charge yourself, if you like, but you’ll probably have to disassemble it, unless you own an 18-wheeler to put it in (it is about 16 feet high with the light on it). And if I deliver it (I have a large trailer), you will still have to help disassemble it. That means just removing the light, which isn’t a big deal. I would charge 50 cents a mile, both ways, from your house to mine, which is on about 99th and Good Hope, in Milwaukee, 53224. You’d have to help load and unload, of course too.
Shoot me an email if interested, and I'll tell you where it is so you can come over and look it over. I’d suggest coming at night, as then you can see how awesome the light works! It really is amazing!! I never thought I'd think that was a good use of $95 bucks!
