Description

Doc Holliday's Basketball 6 Shooter is a toy/device that invites the basketball player to keep on shooting basketballs without any interruption; a consistent flow of basketball shots taken at waist level when you are ready to shoot. When there is no more basketballs in the feeder at waist level, then you go and gather the basketballs, and put them in the muzzle up top of the Doc Holliday Basketball 6 Shooter, and gravity pulls the basketballs down the barrel to the feeder area at waist level where you begin your action of taking the basketball to shoot baskets. Doc Holliday's Basketball 6 Shooter also has wheels making the toy/device mobile to go any direction on the basketball court.
Doc Holliday's Basketball 6 Shooter is an Indoor/Outdoor recreational toy/device that I wished I had as a kid, but never came about until now. This toy/device keeps you shooting basketball without chasing the basketball, and keeping you consistent as a basketball player.
Just pick-up the basketballs from the feeder which is at waist level, and keep on shooting baskets. When to toy/device is empty, then all you have to do is reload all the basketballs back into the toy/device on top, and keep on playing basketball.
