Abstract: A basketball playing table includes an elongated table face having two ends provided with two end plates and two sides provided with two side plates, and a ball emitting device mounted on the table face for emitting a ball into the table face toward the basket. Each of the two end plates has an inner side provided with a basket. The table face includes two operation rods each movably and rotatably mounted between the two side plates, and two defense dolls each rotatably mounted on a respective one of the two operation rods. Thus, the basketball playing table simulates the basketball playing operation lively, thereby providing an amusement to the players.
