Chris Haas

Special Basketball

• Chris invented a basketball at the age of 9 with hands painted on it to indicate the correct positions to hold the ball when shooting after watching his friends miss "easy" shots during basketball practice at school.
• He entered his school Invention Convention and though he didn't win he was encouraged to get a patent by his teachers and he went on to get the Hands-on basketball manufactured.
