Abstract

A device which simulates a defensive basketball player for practicing offensive moves such as shooting is formed from a resilient, durable synthetic foam. The device can be selectively adjusted to various heights and the arms are manually rotatable in order for an offensive player to sharpen his shooting skills without the necessity of an opponent being present.
