About BasketballRex

Hey, I’m Mark.

I’ve been interested in basketball for years. Not just playing it, but learning how the game works and figuring out which equipment is actually worth using.

That interest led me to spend years researching basketball and earning a Sport Coaching diploma.

I created BasketballRex to help people make better decisions about basketball equipment.

Whether you’re choosing your first basketball, setting up a hoop at home, or looking for something to improve your training, I want to make things easier to understand.

Here you’ll find practical guides, equipment comparisons, and answers to common basketball problems. I focus on what equipment does, who it’s suitable for, what its limitations are, and whether it’s worth your money.

I don’t believe you need expensive equipment to become a better player. Sometimes the simplest tools are all you need.

And you certainly don’t need a 40-inch vertical to enjoy basketball.
