ADRIAN LINDSEY IS A YOUNG INVENTOR
Adrian Lindsey is the young inventor behind the All-Net Sak, a practical bag for carrying a basketball. The entrepreneur, who is now seventeen years old, created the sac when he was just twelve years old.
As a 12-year-old in Akron, Adrian Lindsey got tired of having to balance a basketball while riding his bicycle to the neighborhood courts. He didn’t like riding one-handed, but he didn’t want to carry a gym bag, either. Instead, he just complained.
His mother, Cherrlyn Lampley, encouraged him to use his energy to figure out a solution.
Scribbling on his notepad, Adrian did just that, turning an ordinary basketball net into a practical bag for carrying a ball.
“My mom told me to think of something unique,” recalled Adrian, now 17. “A net that resembles the one basketballs go through distinguishes it from other bags.”
These days, the teenage entrepreneur is scoring big. Two weeks ago, the Cleveland Cavaliers Team Shop at Quicken Loans Arena started selling his $20 All-Net Sak. The carrier comes in the Cavs’ colors, wine and navy, and bears the team’s logo. Read More

Wonderful idea, way to go!!!!!
We used to sell these string sacks in chinatown and yes, a ball was used to show what it would hold. The strap is new though.
Hurry up and get it patent. Somebody’s already claiming your invention.
Yes congrats to him! But this is not new. Anyone who has played basketball has had the nike basketball bags that do the same thing…
So adorable, I want one.
*two thumbs WAY up*
Now THAT’S what I’m talking about….
Great job!
Another person to watch is Tevyn Cole, the inventor of School Me Clothing (web site is of the same name). Check it out (and buy a shirt). It was an awesome idea!
wow that’s really great! So great to hear positive things about our community!
Awesome.
Good job young man. I wish you lots of future success.
Awesome, Adrian. Get that patent, young man!!
Excellent feature BCK, for the first day of Black History Month.
An African American inventor, Lonnie Johnson, invented the Super Soaker squirt gun in 1989 and now he’s SUPER wealthy!!
Good job and such a cute contraption! Wish I would have thought of it.
Lonnie Johnson is an Aerospace Engineer from Los Angeles whose net worth is $358 million dollars.
This is a great idea!!!
*claps* Good Job!
