when I bought one, I got very good advice ... pay the store to send someone to assemble it for you

when I saw what it took, I felt it was the best money I ever spent

The best shooter in the history of basketball didn't have a place to shoot. So he built one for himself.

Stephen Curry had been stuck at home for more than two weeks, unable to do the one thing he does better than anybody, when his wife ordered him a Spalding hoop for their driveway. For the first time in 16 days, he could shoot a basketball. Or at least that was the plan.
But this solution only caused another problem. Now he actually had to put the hoop together.
"I got overwhelmed looking at the manual," Curry said.

After what he could only describe as "a pretty serious effort," Curry finally succeeded at his unexpected assembly job. It only took him five hours.
"I was very confident in myself going in," he said. "That was shot down pretty quick."

Dude didn't already have a court or SOMETHING at his house?!
