    I'm looking for one to mount on my sloped roof and want to make sure it is exactly 10 feet. I want a breakaway rim, acrylic or glass backboard that is preferably 60" or bigger. Was hoping to find a deal around this time of year. Has anybody seen any good deals or have any experience/thoughts on this?

    Here is the best option I've found so far but a little too pricey for me.

    had one like that in middle school and i broke the garage door cus i keep missing shots and it would hit the door. i'd also slam into the door on failed layup attempts. ok well i didn't break it, but it was a little misshaped.

    no, didn't have the strength to lift one back then. i was small. but i did try launching 15-20 feet buzzer beaters which completely missed the goal.

    Thanks that is what I posted in my OP. After installation the 60" backboard is $1k. Seems too expensive for a goal to put on top of my garage.

    Did you also dent it from practicing small-ball, rim-protection defense using Euro flopping techniques? That can hurt.
