If you are an active person, it's a good investment. Can be used for all sorts of stuff.

My son is super into it. And the other sports he's played have not stuck at all. but our driveway is pretty slanty. So I told my wife we could just pour a slab in the back and put a hoop up. She is on the fence but I think I can do it.

I know we'd have to be ready to tear it up if we sell, but who knows maybe someone would come along that liked it.

Make the slab concrete cover it in asphalt.

You should encourage him to play a sport more suited to whites, put up a tether ball.

Yeah, my parents did that for me when i was a kid. It was a great idea and i totally used it... For about a month.

It stayed there, in front of our screen door where we all sat down to eat everyday for the next 20 years until they moved.

I'm going to go play basketball at GC's house, skin my knee on the concrete slab, then sue him for a billion dollars!
