An assembly including a base having a backboard-rim combination support at one end and at least one wheel adjacent to the second end. A brace assembly is pivotally connected to the base and the support and determines, in a playing position, a fixed erect position of the support forming a substantially 90°with the base. The brace assembly, in a transport position, determines a fixed lowered position of the support forming an acute angle greater than zero with the base to aid the tilting of the base and counter-balancing the weight of the base with the weight of the backboard-rim combination during transport of the assembly. A lock assembly is operatively connected to the brace assembly for locking the brace assembly in the playing position in a locking condition of the lock and permits the brace assembly to assume the transport position in an unlocked condition of the lock.
