It's an English method of weight.^
I'm from England, I got into basketball last year, but it's only now that I'm starting to take it seriously, theres 14 pounds in a stone, and this will be my first net with a stand, I've just had ones that go onto the wall so far, but I am really exciting of getting this, I'll probably not dunk it loads, just practice my lay-ups which is my worst part of my game, probably has something to do with the fact that I'm only about 5 foot 4 and I'm 13 years old.
