Squeeze a layer of hot glue along the rim of the trophy and put a basketball stress ball on top. Hold the ball in place a few minutes to ensure a tight seal.

The previous step is optional. The basketball stress balls will sit on top of the trophy without using hot glue. If you do this, your guests will be able to remove the ball and keep it as a toy and you can fill the inside of the trophy with basketball chocolate balls.
