I can smell it in the air. March Madness with all of it’s sweaty, manly glory is here! And what better way to celebrate the NCAA tournament than by taking a look at some cool basketball gizmos?
The Portable B Ball hoop can be mounted to any vehicle equipped with a standard (2 inch) trailer hitch receiver. It can be extended up to the official height of 10 feet and allows you to play basketball wherever you can park your vehicle.
The Action Basketball alarm clock is clearly shaped like a basketball. Big deal. But what makes it really tick (no pun intended) is the fact that you turn off the alarm by picking it up and throwing it across the room at whatever you choose. As soon as it hits the wall, the floor, or your roommate, it will cease to beep. It’s basically what sleep-o-holics do to their normal alarm clock, except this is built to take the hit.
The Basketball Backpack is the perfect solution for storing your goods on the go. Just stick the ball right to the outside for everyone to steal see and enjoy. Plus, since it highly resembles the shape of a pregnant woman, it could be used for plenty of immature fun.
This piece of equipment is a little too expensive to get mixed up with a standard basketball. It is a basketball PC, complete with USB 2.0, FireWire, Ethernet, and S-Video out. It’s obviously not too expandable, but hey, if you’re into basketball and geeky bragging rights, this might be just the thing for you.
This jersey, being tested in Australia, displays current game stats for easy viewing on the court. “On the shirt there will be Luminescent bars running up the side of the vest to indicate the points scored by the player, lines on the shoulder indicate the number of fouls, chest panels will display the game time and panel on the back will display the current winning team.” Sorry jocks, with these jerseys in use, there’s no more excuse for ignorance when the coach breathes down your back for that shot clock violation.
