The portable basketball system allows a basketball goal to be positioned in a desired location and readily moved to another location. The portable basketball system may include a basketball goal, a pole or support structure that supports the basketball goal above a playing surface, and a base that maintains the support structure in a generally upward direction. The portable basketball system may also include an adjustment assembly that is capable of being moved between a first position in which the portable basketball system is held in a generally fixed position relative to the playing surface and a second position in which the portable basketball system is readily movable relative to the playing surface. The adjustment assembly may include a bracket, an arm, a link pivotally connecting the arm to the bracket, and a wheel assembly connected to the bracket. Desirably, at least a portion of the base contacts the playing surface when the adjustment assembly is in the first position to maintain the basketball goal in the generally fixed location.
