The Net and Rim in Basketball

Video Transcript

"One thing that's probably the most important part to actually playing basketball, is the goal. We already talked about, talked about the backboard a little bit. Well, now I want to talk about the support, the rim and the net. When you're talking about playing, usually playing outdoors a lot of times you'll have, just as you'll have if you're playing indoors, you'll have nylon. But, sometimes when you're playing outdoors, you'll have different courts that will have, some will have a double, what I call a double rim, which are a little more difficult to shoot at. Or some, will have a simple basic rim like this but, they will have chained nets like we have here. Now, also when you're talking about playing ball, the brace, lots of times you'll see a pole like this when you're playing outdoors or you'll see an actual combination of things bracing the backboard up, if you're talking about indoors. You want to keep in mind though, that the nets really do have a purpose, so if you're setting up your own basketball hoop at home, you want to definitely put a net up, it prevents the ball from going out of bounds and you having to chase it down, all over the place. So, here we're talking about the goal, we're talking about the net, and its purpose."
