i dont think it will matter. shaq destroyed in door rings like that and those were made to a higher standard of quality.

Haha..... I'd be careful when buying then; a lot of rings say you shouldn't hang from the rim or you'll break it.

Only thing I don't like about that system is the hoop.
It is not springloaded and the net hooks are too exposed, having carved my fingers up on those exposed hooks several times.
For that sort of money you need a good rim !!!

I wouldnt hang from any of those systems mate especially if you are 100kg+. If you have some slight building skills you could build one. Concrete a solid timber or steel post into the ground and then fix a backboard and ring to it. It will be much stronger that way

True but they were the old school ones, now they got the air suspension systems.

I think its meant to be the same ring as the nba use, yeah I agree for that kind of money youd want a good rim.

Well nba store got back to me and said they will ship a system to me in Oz, which is awesome heres one id like
Spalding 88724AAP NBA Maximum Performance 72 Inch Acrylic In Ground Basketball System - NBAStore.com
youd think for this kind of money it would have to be a pretty good system? any thoughts?

It really depends where the pressure is applied when you hang on the rim.... the reason the backboards in the NBA don't break now is because the pressure isn't applied to the backboard.

Hi Veny, did you end up getting the basketball system from the US? It's similiar to the one I'm looking for, just can't find it anywhere and contacted the NBA store and they said they won't ship outside of US etc. Love to hear how you went!
