If you are an active person, it's a good investment. Can be used for all sorts of stuff.

My son is super into it. And the other sports he's played have not stuck at all. but our driveway is pretty slanty. So I told my wife we could just pour a slab in the back and put a hoop up. She is on the fence but I think I can do it.

I know we'd have to be ready to tear it up if we sell, but who knows maybe someone would come along that liked it.

Make the slab concrete cover it in asphalt.

You should encourage him to play a sport more suited to whites, put up a tether ball.

Yeah, my parents did that for me when i was a kid. It was a great idea and i totally used it... For about a month.

It stayed there, in front of our screen door where we all sat down to eat everyday for the next 20 years until they moved.

You don't have a court somewhere nearby he can walk to and play at?

not enough. We have about six-ten public courts in my little town. And you wouldn't want to try to play on them unless you were full sized. My son is nine. This is basketball country. I'd estimate half of the houses here have some kind of home court. And if it's a nice night the last sound you will hear from outside will be a basketball dribbling.

Yeah it will only be half court. If our driveway was more conducive I'd just put up a pole. That's what most do around here.

My son started wrestling in Jr. High so all I could really do was build him a gym, he still uses it, and don't think I don't see the challenging looks the buff little sucker throws me.

A half court of asphalt shouldn't even be $1000. Some guy out there needs the work. Not a big deal.
