71522 Portable Lifetime Basketball Goal

Read Reviews

Model 71522 is, simply put, the best lifetime portable basketball system available.  Why?  It has an acrylic backboard with a steel frame.  Acrylic is the next best thing to glass and a step up from Polycarbonate.  Perhaps the biggest difference is simply acrylic is much quieter than the (drum-like) sound polycarbonate makes when making a bank shot.
