Abstract

A basketball deflection device is disclosed for a basketball goal assembly. The basketball deflection device comprises a mounting section and a deflection section. The mounting section has a first end which is attachable to the basketball goal assembly, and a second end having a preformed slot therethrough. The deflection section has a first end which is insertable through the performed slot of the second end of the mounting section to removably secure the deflector section to the mounting section. A second end of the deflector section is adapted to deflect the basketball away from the basketball goal assembly when a successful shot is made. Optionally, a bolt is provided to more permanently fasten the deflector and mounting sections together.
