Inflatable Defender

Have you ever been shooting hoops by yourself and thought to yourself that this is too easy, I need a defender? Thanks to PlayAir Systems, your problem is solved with the Inflatable Defender. The Inflatable defender is a life-size, seven foot inflatable model of Ben Wallace, complete with afro and a “fear the fro” headband. This actually is not a terrible idea, it just seemed funny to me that many of the people in the video on the website were little kids, and I am not expecting them to be playing in games against 7 foot opponents any time soon. Either way, there are drills that come with the Inflatable Defender to improve your game. The Inflatable Defender is fairly lifelike, except for the fact that it stays in one position unless someone is there to move it around for you. Since it does not move, maybe they should have come out with an inflatable Michael Olowokandi instead.
