Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     An object of the present invention is to provide for forklifts a portable base that accommodates basketball backboards. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention, a portable base for basketball backboards, has been especially designed for warehouses. 
     The intention of the present invention is to relieve stress by way of exercise while boosting employee morale. 
     Warehouse management has long sought ways to show employee appreciation. Versatility is the key. Unlike basketballs traditional stationary backboards, portable backboards are designed especially for forklifts. They are mobile.
