Abstract
A portable basketball unit comprising a hoop, backboard and pole having a base portion. The base portion is modified so that a brace system can be secured thereto. Auger screws are secured to the brace system and driven into the ground. The base unit is attached to the auger screws and a leveling collar and adjustment leveler is used to cause the pole to be substantially vertical. The attachment members are then tightened and the middle and upper portions are attached, the basketball unit being ready for play.
