You know like those indoor hoops you hang on your door.  
 

I had it when I was younger.    Fun memories of some tackle games with the cousins as kids using it.

 

I still had one throughout high school and used it believe it or not.

I had one right away. It was a great time for b-ball in Buffalo. Lanier, Murphy, the Braves franchise just starting.

 

Had two, full court b-ball upstairs against my brother. “What are you doing up there” was a common phrase as we did faders while falling full weight back on the beds.

 

The Nerf football was a godsend though. Perfect for lawn tackle football. Our group of roughly 12-14 y.o.’s were a little big and would muddy up the lawns pretty good, resulting in a lawn rotation.

My friend across the street had one we would bang and we’d bang around playing in his room. He also had a Farrah Fawcett in the red bathing suit poster hanging in his closet. 

 

Nipples. 

 

That was the answer given when asked why she became so famous.

It was great, you could only so much damage ... with the ball anyway.

 

Couldn't throw the nerf ball far enough. I ended up with a knock-off brand that was better for me but not so much for the door trim that got beat up a bit or the stuff on my dresser that got knocked off when I missed with the heavier ball.

I think every one did, we had a three point line like the ABA at the time that you couldn't contest the shot. Helped us little guys out!

When we imitated players as kids whenever my friend imitated Larry Bird he was just like…,  Somehow nobody ever blocks his shots!   Fun memories

My boys both have them up. Rugby, MMA and basketball I guess.
