It sticks to any metal surface like a fridge with its strong magnet, and for non-metal surfaces, it comes with double-sided tape.

While one can practice shooting alone, dribbling and driving require at least one more player.

While this basketball-shaped Collapsible Water Bottle is a really cool-looking item, unfortunately, it’s only meant to be used by kids. The bottle only holds 18 ounces of water, enough for kids but too low for adults. It’s made out of BPA-free silicone. So get this product if it’s a gift for a little basketball fan.
