The basketball system as in claim 1, wherein the distance separating the base and the support pole is at least twelve inches. 3. The basketball system as in claim 1, wherein the distance separating the base and the support pole is at least twice as large as the height of the base. 4. The basketball system as in claim 1, wherein the height of the base is approximately equal to a thickness of the backboard. 5. The basketball system as in claim 1, further comprising a foot connected to the support pole and to the brace proximate a bottom end of the support pole. 6. The basketball system as in claim 5, wherein the foot includes a receiving portion sized and configured to receive a portion of the brace. 7. The basketball system as in claim 1, wherein the rim of the basketball goal is directly connected to the support pole by a mounting member and the base is directly connected to the support pole by the brace. 8. The basketball system as in claim 1, wherein the base has a height that is between about three inches and about five inches. 9. The basketball system as in claim 1, wherein the base has a height that is less than about eight inches. 10. The basketball system as in claim 1, wherein the base has a length and a width; wherein the backboard has a length and a width; wherein the length of the base is less than or generally equal to the length of the backboard; and wherein the width of the base is less than or generally equal to the width of the backboard. 11. A basketball system comprising: a support pole including an upper portion and a lower portion; a basketball goal connected to the upper portion of the support pole, the basketball goal comprising: a backboard including a receiving portion; and a rim assembly including a rim, a portion of the rim assembly being sized and configured to extend through the receiving portion of the backboard and be directly connect to the support pole; a brace including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion of the brace being connected to the lower portion of the support pole; and a base connected to the second portion of the brace, the base being spaced apart from the support pole by a distance that is generally equal to or greater than a height of the backboard, the base being sized and configured to support the basketball goal above a playing surface wherein the base has a generally rectangular configuration with a width and a length; wherein the backboard has a generally rectangular configuration with a width and a length; wherein the width and the length of the base is generally equal to the width and the length of the backboard. 12. The basketball system as in claim 11, wherein the rim assembly includes a rim, a mounting member, and a rim brace. 13. The basketball system as in claim 12, wherein a portion of the rim brace is sized and configured to extend through the receiving portion and connect to the support pole. 14. The basketball system as in claim 12, wherein a portion of the mounting member is sized and configured to extend through the receiving portion and connect to the support pole. 15. A basketball system comprising: a support pole; a basketball goal including a backboard, a rim, a rim mounting member and a rim brace, the rim mounting member being attached to the rim and the support pole, the rim brace being attached to the rim and the support pole; a backboard brace connected to the backboard and the rim mounting member; and a base connected to the support pole by one or more elongated members so that the base is spaced apart from the support pole by a distance that is generally equal to or greater than a height of the backboard wherein the base has a generally rectangular configuration with a width and a length; wherein the backboard has a generally rectangular configuration with a width and a length; wherein the width and the length of the base is generally equal to the width and the length of the backboard. 16. The basketball system as in claim 15, wherein the backboard includes a first receiving portion, a first portion of the rim mounting member being sized and configured to extend through the first receiving portion and be connected to the support pole. 17. The basketball system as in claim 16, wherein the backboard includes a second receiving portion, a second portion of the rim mounting member being sized and configured to extend through the second receiving portion and be connected to the support pole. 18. The basketball system as in claim 15, wherein the base is connected to the lower portion of the support pole by two elongated members, a length of each of the elongated members being generally equal to or larger than a width or a length of the base. 19. The basketball system as in claim 18, further comprising a connecting member connecting the two elongated members proximate the base. 20. A basketball system comprising: a basketball goal; a support structure that is sized and configured to support the basketball goal above a playing surface; a base including a hollow interior portion that is sized and configured to receive ballast, the base being independent from and spaced apart from the support structure by a distance that is generally equal to or greater than a height of the backboard; and a first set of one or more braces connecting the base and the support structure, the first set of braces allowing the base and the support structure to be spaced apart by the distance and wherein the base has a generally rectangular configuration with a width and a length; wherein the backboard has a generally rectangular configuration with a width and a length; wherein the width and the length of the base is generally equal to the width and the length of the backboard. 21. The basketball system as in claim 20, further comprising a second set of one or more braces connecting the base and the support structure, the second set of braces being disposed at an angle relative to the first set of braces. 22. The basketball system as in claim 21, wherein the first set of braces are disposed generally parallel to and aligned with a lower portion of the base; and wherein the second set of braces are disposed at an upwardly extending angle relative to the lower portion of the base. 23.
