Abstract

See full text

A table top basketball game which has a plurality of player figures that can be manipulated by opposing players and which can project a ball into a hoop. The player figures are attached to rods that extend across a floor. The rods have handles which allow the players to spin and laterally move the figures. The rods and player figures are separated and arranged so that the ball can be 'passed' from one player figure to another player figure, while the player figures of the opposing player are manipulated to 'steal' the pass. The rods can also be rotated to spin the player figures and project the ball into a hoop. The floor has a plurality of recess areas that cause the ball to roll to the player figures and increase the action of the game. The game may have a pair of 'center' player figures that are moved in a vertical direction to impede the projection of the ball into the hoop.
