Default Trouble w/ a Basketball

My little brother was shooting hoops today and a shot landed hard right square in the middle of the hood, and then bounced and hit it again. The dents are not overly noticible, but when looking at the hood it is deffintly there. It is a clean circular dent, and its not too big. What is the cheapest/most cost effective way that I could fix it? Any input will be greatly appreciated!

It is hard to see in the pics/in person it is much easier-thanks again

Call a mobile dent guy. That dent would likely be cake to pop out -- if there isn't a crease (which I doubt there would be -- as it was cuased by a basketball)

The den't guy I know would charge like 50 bucks to come to you, and take out the dent. Subsequent dents that he does (maybe from prior incidents) are usually half the price of the first one, because he's already there. I've had this guy remove like 4 dents for 100 bucks.

Is little brother paying for it? I know if my older brother or younger sister messed up my car, they would be paying for it.

If there are no creases go for PDR. $100 - 200 depending on size and location.
