I finally finished building the basketball goal, took a total of I would say 5 hours. Played on it over the weekend, my shot came back to me after about an hour of practice and can sink shots from the grass area of my yard (about 15 ft from basket). My conditioning is horrible, after about 2 hours of shoot around, my friend decided to gaurd me and we played 1-1 (without keeping score) after about 5 posessions my legs were hurting and I was done lol.
The house I bought in 2008 has a hoop. I'm 37 and go out from time to time to make the neighbors laugh. But seriously, why care how old you are? Do what you want to do in life.
