Looking for reasonable basketball system under $350

Hey guys,

Ok guys newbie here. I'm just posting this thread because i wanted to know if someone can help me with 2 questions.

[1. Can anyone can tell me where i can get a reasonable basketball system that's under $300-$350?]
When i mean 'reasonable' i just mean one that's stable and won't easily budge when i'm throwing basketballs towards the hoop. This is just to play at the backyard to practice for fun and play with friends.
I found some on rebelsports and sportsmart, but just wanted to know if you guys know anything about any other system before i go and test this one myself:

What do you guys think?

i MIGHT consider this one if it's really worth getting, but if i can avoid paying too much that i'd prefer not to:

[2. Should i get a backboard instead and is it reliable/stable?]

I actually don't mind a backboard, but i've always been worried about the brackets falling off my brick-wall outside the house and i don't know how stable they'd be. They're cheaper than the basketball systems though:

Can anyone tell me anything about how stable/reliable backboards are or if i'd be better off getting a basketball system?

  • Can anyone tell me anything about how stable/reliable backboards are

    They are only as stable/reliable as the wall and fixing that you use.

    So, this question depends on you, not the product.

  • Personally I'd try to find a local court and save yourself at least $200. You be surprised how many there are around.

    We used to have a backboard at on our tennis court at home that was mounted into a cinder block wall. Was extremely stable.

  • if there is a public high school nearby, you should be set. I have about 3 courts in a 2km radius
