Abstract

An apparatus includes a base, a receptacle, one or more vertical members, and a backboard. The base includes a first end, a second end positioned opposite of the first end, a first surface, and a second surface positioned opposite of the first surface. The receptacle is formed in the first surface of the base and positioned between the first end of the base and the second end of the base. The one or more vertical members extend from the base on a side of the receptacle positioned opposite of the first end of the base. The backboard is coupled to the one or more vertical members and includes a face oriented toward the receptacle. The face of the backboard extends in a plane which extends relative to the first surface of the base at an angle greater than ninety degrees.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a base including a first end, a second end positioned opposite of the first end, a first surface, and a second surface positioned opposite of the first surface, wherein the first end includes a first thickness between the first surface and the second surface, the second end includes a second thickness between the first surface and the second surface, and the second thickness is greater than the first thickness;   a receptacle formed in the first surface of the base and positioned between the first end of the base and the second end of the base;   one or more support members extending from the base;   a backboard coupled to the one or more support members; and   a rim coupled to the backboard, the backboard including an insert horizontally centered above the receptacle,
 wherein the one or more support members are positioned between the receptacle and the first end of the base and between the receptacle and the second end of the base, and 
 wherein a distal end of a first support member of the one or more support members disposed on a first side of the base is coupled to a distal end of a second support member of the one or more support members disposed on the first side of the base. 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a backboard coupled to the one or more support members and a rim coupled to the backboard, the backboard including an insert horizontally centered above the receptacle, wherein the one or more support members extend along and are coupled to the base from the first end of the base to the second end of the base. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more support members are positioned between the receptacle and the first end of the base and between the receptacle and the second end of the base, wherein distal ends of the one or more support members extend toward a common location and are coupled to a rim positioned above the first surface of the base. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a backboard coupled to the one or more support members and a rim coupled to the backboard, the backboard including an insert horizontally centered above the receptacle. 
     
     
         5 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a base including a first end, a second end positioned opposite of the first end, a first surface, and a second surface positioned opposite of the first surface;   a receptacle extending through the base between the first surface of the base and the second surface of the base;   one or more vertical members extending from the base;   a backboard coupled to and spaced over the base by the one or more vertical members; and   one or more legs coupled to the base, the one or more legs configured to elevate the second end of the base relative to the first end of the base to provide the first surface of the base at an inclination when the base is positioned on an underlying surface.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the backboard includes a face oriented toward the receptacle, wherein the face of the backboard extends in a plane which extends relative to the first surface of the base at an angle greater than ninety degrees.
