Abstract:

The hand-held basketball game comprises of a circular-shaped disc mounted to a short tubular handle that has a spirally-grooved socket inserted within the front section of the short tubular handle, which is connected by inserting the miniature basketball game hoop's rear square-headed, spirally-grooved screw into a square opening located within the center base of the miniature beveled transparent basketball game backboard, which is connected to a spirally-grooved socket inserted within the front section of the short tubular handle. The hand-held basketball game includes a miniature cone-shaped basketball game net that can be assembled to and disconnected from the miniature basketball game hoop which has a small circular track lining designed within the inner circle frame of the miniature basketball game hoop that allows the miniature basketball game cone-shaped net to be adjustable to the miniature basketball game hoop. The hand-held basketball game also comprises of a small loophole made within the front center section of the miniature basketball game hoop which permits one end of the thin rubber string to be attached to the front center section of the rim of the miniature basketball game hoop, consequently allowing the thin rubber string to be attached to a small, circular, rimmed wedge plug which locks into place after being inserted into a small compatible hole located in the middle of the miniature basketball, which also operates as a reinforcement mechanism for both the miniature basketball and rubber string connection. This, in turn, assembles the hand-held basketball game into one complete unit.
