A device configured for placement on a basketball hoop rim, the device comprising:
- a pad, the pad having a thickness configured to provide a protective surface including:
- a plurality of apertures, the apertures sized for the receipt of a net hook on the basketball hoop rim;
- and
- at least one fastener, the at least one fastener configured for securing the pad onto the basketball hoop rim, wherein the pad is wrapped around the basketball hoop rim.
A device configured for placement on a basketball hoop rim to provide a protective surface, the device comprising:
- a pad, the pad including:
- a first side;
- a second side, the second side opposed the first side, a distance between the first side and the second side defining a thickness of the pad;
- a first edge;
- a second edge, the second edge opposite the first edge, a distance between the first edge and the second edge defining a width of the pad;
- a first end;
- a second end, the second end opposite the first end, a distance between the first end and the second end defining a length of the pad, wherein the first edge, second edge, first end, and second end define a perimeter of the pad;
- a plurality of apertures, the apertures extending from the first side to the second side and sized and spaced for the receipt of a net hook on the basketball hoop rim;
