Summer is here, meaning now is the time to get the backyard prepped for barbecue parties and entertaining. Whether this includes cleaning the grill, bringing out the summer furniture, or stockpiling logs for summer fires, outdoor NBA gear is a must for basketball fans. Check out some of these backyard essentials for NBA lovers.
Yard Games
Invite the whole neighborhood over for a get-together with NBA yard games. Fans can enjoy friendly competition with a yard dice game featuring their favorite NBA team logo. This yard dice set also comes with two dry erase boards, so there’ll be no question as to who won the game. An NBA-branded game of dominoes is also sure to be a summer party hit. The dominoes are 100% wood and have the buyer’s choice of NBA logo on the back.
Yard games are available in all top NBA team choices, including the Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Milwaukee Bucks, and Oklahoma City Thunder. Both games come with convenient storage and a carrying case that makes it a breeze to pull them out at a backyard party.
Basketball
Spend the summer shooting hoops in the backyard while everyone awaits the return of the basketball season. A Wilson Authentic Series indoor/outdoor basketball gives fans the quality they need in a ball to seriously improve their game. Fans can also show off their unique style with an NBA Wilson 75th Anniversary Black Forge Basketball or a Platinum Commemorative Basketball.
Fans who prefer to brag about their team while playing ball with a family member or friend will enjoy one of the NBA Team Alliance Basketballs. Choose from teams like the Indiana Pacers or the Minnesota Timberwolves. For fans who prefer to watch basketball rather than play, an authentic signed indoor/outdoor basketball can turn a drab backyard space into one that makes the neighbors envious. Just make sure it’s in a secure place because it can be a costly investment.
Tailgate Gear
Planning a tailgate party at home usually requires a lot of planning. Tailgate for the big game at home with an NBA Game Day Essentials Gift Box. This box comes with everything a fan needs for watching the game from home. It includes game day essentials like a shirt, beach towel, two-sided garden flag, and decals. It also comes with a bottle opener and a slim can cooler pack to celebrate a favorite team winning.
Lawn and Garden Gear
Add the perfect finishing touch to an outdoor garden with an NBA Finals flag. Double-sided garden flags are also perfect for showing loyalty to a team of choice, like the Boston Celtics or San Antonio Spurs. NBA garden gear can also invoke a little friendly competition and rivalry among neighbors. Fans who move away from their long-standing team of choice can still support them by hanging a team flag in the backyard.
Lawn accessories like garden gnomes wearing a favorite team logo are a great way to add an element of personality to an outdoor space. Boston Celtics garden stones or vertical banners will make the team’s green pop, even amongst a garden full of lush plants. Fans can even feel like they’re a prized player on their favorite team with a personalized garden flag.
Outdoor/Indoor Games
Fans with backyard plans this year, whether that includes a graduation party or a Fourth of July cookout, can stay loyal to their favorite NBA team with a pop-up tennis table. A tennis table with the Memphis Grizzlies logo or the New York Knicks is sure to be a hit at any backyard party.
Folding tables are also perfect for late-night games, whether everyone decides to play a game of poker or ping-pong. Don’t forget about the team logo table tennis paddles and matching ping-pong balls.
Barbecue Gear
Can any outdoor event be successful without delicious barbecue? Fans can take their barbecuing skills to the next level with a barbecue caddy. Use it to carry the ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce to the table while also showing off some of the greatest NBA teams. A three-piece barbecue set that shows off a favorite team is also the perfect starter kit for any NBA fan. It can make a great housewarming gift for a Cleveland Cavaliers fan.
Golf Equipment
Fanatics can turn their backyards into a practice putting course with NBA logo golf equipment. A Golden State Warriors Carry Hybrid Golf Bag or Brooklyn Nets golf ball is perfect for showing off team pride. A team logo golf towel or headcover is also an ideal addition for outdoor golf games, whether it’s in the backyard or at the local golf course. The TaylorMade Team Logo Golf Ball Set is a fan favorite. The only problem is some fans may want to show off the golf balls as decor rather than use them on the course.
Pool Gear
Spend the day lounging at the pool while still showing team pride with NBA pool gear. A team favorite beach towel is perfect for NBA fans. A pair of NBA Slogan Slide Sandals is a must for footwear at the pool. Nostalgic fans will definitely love showing off their pride for Space Jam 2 with the Galaxy Slide Sandals.
Don’t forget the comfortable NBA gear for outdoor use, good for both the pool or just lounging around the backyard enjoying a cold drink. The G-III volley swim shorts are comfortable and casual enough for a relaxing game day. NBA pool gear also makes a great gift for dad. Sports fans can show him that he’s their VIP with a pair of basketball number one slides.
Cold-Weather Gear
Summer nights can get chilly. A pair of NBA-themed socks are perfect for keeping warm late into the night. Add in an oversized NBA scarf to enjoy games late into the year. Officially licensed sports apparel jackets can also make fans feel like they’re a part of the team while staying warm and throwing the ball around the yard.
An NBA Anorak quarter-zip hoodie is perfect for those spring afternoons that start off chilly and get warmer as the day progresses, and rain is always a possibility. Fans who live in a colder area may enjoy a cozy Sherpa quarter-zip pullover jacket branded with their favorite team colors or logo.
Rain Gear
Don’t let a rainy day ruin going outdoors. Enjoy the backyard with an umbrella in a favorite team’s color or with their logo. Even better, fans can keep these NBA team umbrellas on hand for rainy days when walking to the stadium during the NBA season. A rain jacket can also be stylish summer wear, like the Golden State Warriors Black Gloss Satin Full-Snap Jacket.
Hats
An NBA hat is a must for all basketball fans. Hats block out the sun and also make for the perfect outdoor wear. They allow fans to celebrate their favorite teams as well as some of the greatest moments in NBA history. An NBA playoffs hat gives fans bragging rights when their prized team makes it to the championships.
The NBA Finals Championship hat gives the wearer bragging rights until next year’s playoffs. NBA hats come not only in a variety of team colors and logos, but they also come in many styles. City Edition hats celebrate a favorite team while also showing pride in the team’s hometown. Throwback hats use logos and designs from older versions of the team uniforms, such as the 1998 Chicago Bulls NBA Champions hat. The great thing about hats is that they’re acceptable backyard wear, whether that comprises hosting a barbecue, laying out in the sun, or sitting back with a cold drink.
Cooler and Drink Holders
Get ready for game day with an NBA backyard cooler. The Detroit Piston’s 24-can cooler will keep everyone’s drinks cold for the evening. A Los Angeles Lakers 16-Can cooler also comes with a convenient carrying handle that makes it easier to load up and restock the guests with cold drinks. Don’t forget about fun can cooler to keep beverages cold all summer long. A Celtic Pride can cooler is the perfect icebreaker for a backyard party, helping fans spot others who cheer on the same team.
Choose from a diverse collection of NBA logo can and bottle covers that accommodate all types of beverages. Fans can also show off their unique personalities with vibrant coolers and can cover designs, like the Utah Jazz WinCraft NBA Playoffs slogan can cooler or the Dallas Mavericks logo can cooler on top of the American flag.
Backyard NBA essentials make it easy to turn any backyard into a prized space. Spend the summer kicking back and relaxing, whether it’s by the pool with an NBA beach towel or playing table ping-pong over a folding table. Sports fans can also stock up on their favorite sports collectibles or memorabilia, which often make for great backyard decor.
