A portable basketball goal assembly comprises a pair of collapsible backboard support mechanisms mounted in back-to-back relationship on opposite ends of a base. The support mechanisms fold inwardly on the base when collapsed and are offset so they overlap and lay side-by-side, thus providing a compact collapsed structure that can easily be transported on a struck. A brace mechanism connects and reinforces the support mechanisms when erected. Stacking support columns permit collapsed goal assemblies to be stacked together for shipping.

A collapsible and portable basketball goal assembly, wherein collapsible backboard support mechanisms are mounted at opposite ends of a portable base and support a pair of basketball backboards and baskets in back-to-back fashion when erected and fold compactly onto the base for transport when collapsed, the opposite ends of the base being separated by a distance less than the erected height of the baskets, each support mechanism being mounted on the base at a lower end thereof and extending upwardly when erected to support a basketball backboard apparatus at an upper portion thereof, each support mechanism being formed in at least two sections connected together, the support mechanism being foldable inwardly on the base when collapsed, the support mechanism extending more than half way across the base toward the opposite side when collapsed, each support mechanism being formed and positioned on the base such that the two support mechanisms are offset from each other to the extent that they fit downwardly on the base in a side-by-side arrangement when the support mechanisms are collapsed and are maintained generally within the perimeter of the base, thereby facilitating transport of the collapsed assemblies on a truck or the like.
