Next, cut a length of 6 gauge copper wire to 2 feet long. The copper wire is soft enough to bend with your hands but rigid enough for a mini basketball to rebound off of. Use your hands to bend the wire into a circle. This will become your basketball hoop. Test it with your basketball to make sure the mini basketball can fit through the hoop nicely.
