Three-Point Trash Baskets

Lay Up the Trash with the Basketball Waste Basket

— October 16, 2013 — Lifestyle
Knocking down free throws just became the buzzer beater with the basketball stand wastebasket.

Priced at $75, the waste basket is a wooden stand that fits a standard, iron mesh trash can. While throwing away crumpled up paper and miscellaneous unnecessaries around the house into trash cans is fun in and of itself, the basketball stand waste basket gives you another reason to practice your sit-shot and your lay-back-up.

The waste basket comes with a stylized backboard too, which ensures that your shots aren't any reason for further disappointment and your air balls don't end up in the open space of living room oblivion. The design of the waste basket is simple yet creative, with two layers of wood forming the base of the stand and holding up the backboard.

3. Sports Merchandise - This trend opens up opportunities for sports merchandise companies to expand their product offerings beyond traditional sports gear, providing fans with unique and functional sports-themed items for their homes.
