Good on him, I’d have used this as an opportunity to justify getting out something dangerous from the garage that I was explicitly told I couldn’t use.
If that kid can’t think of at least 5 creative ways to get that ball down, his parents need to be slapped for not bolstering their kid’s imagination. Those parents fucked up.

I totally did that decades ago. Was legitimately upset.
Some say he’s still waiting there for the Spring thaw.
Reminds me of my dog who used to bring his ball to me when I was working and wait for me to throw it.
Nature prevails again.
Tell me you are from up north without telling me… yup that’s it.
I kid you not. Listening to Blue Monday by New Order. As the kid was standing there, the lyric “I stand here waiting” came on.
Oh man. A living sad meme
That’s why it’s always a good idea to ice the shooter.
I was hoping for a [sad walk](https://youtu.be/oabcM9SOF-E)
That’s when you throw your shoe at it. C’mon kid, ball is life
Should’ve thrown his boot at it.
Canadians have a stick for that!! Lol
A couple of wacks from a good stick/pole and that hoop will be back in working order.
Grab a tree branch and whack it.
Straight out of a peanuts comic

As an adult, we would call that being a victim of our own success.
The basketball hoop can be lowered more with the handle in the back. I have the same style.
This kid lacks creativity/problem solving skills. My ass would of been in my dads shed in a heartbeat looking for a shovel or rake to knock loose.
See ya in April kid
I’d beat the hell out of the net with a broom problem solved
Cmon kid, wheres your imagination or whatever. Hit it with a stick, throw a rock at it, grab a chair.
Naw, it’s just a mixture of disbelief and puzzling out a solution.
Did he think living in Minnesota would be fun?
womp womp womp

It’s an adjustable hoop! Lower it and get your ball! Why isn’t he responding?!?!
When he turned and started walking I prayed he’d just keep going. It’s the look back that kills you…
Reddits video player is broken, but just this still frame is amazing enough lol
Enough of that exercise shit. Go inside an play video games.
Winter sucks
In Soviet Russia, hoop balls you.
“This is my life now.”
suffering from success
Aaaammmm…
1) take the snow around you and make a really thick dense ice ball and keep blasting till ball jumps out or ice breaks.
2) find stick.
3) Find rock’s
if there is a will there is a way…
kid just needs a stick
That backboard has a handle / lever on the back of it to raise & lower the backboard height. He could just lower it.
How did kids lose the natural ability to just throw rocks and sticks like pros. There’s actually snowball material laying all over.
He cant go find a stick?
if you’re wondering why there’s only 1 Canadian team in the NBA…
