is it true nba rims are wider than college?
I heard from different people that they are... check out this pic:
doesn't the rim look a little bigger than the ones you see at the gym?

I think the photo is a little out of proportion, because his head should be bigger than the feet and legs.

The way my shots brick at the gym, I'm convinced the ball is larger than the rim.

It's all part of the temporal-spatial distortion that occurs during NBA games. It also makes it look like players driving to the basket are taking one too many steps when in fact they are not.

It looks about right. IIRC, you should be able to fit 2 basketballs through the rim at once.

and the rims are the same size, because some college teams play in nba arenas like MSG. they don't tear that stuff down just for a silly amateur game of hoops, they use the same thing. |

I remember when I was in grade school about 25 years ago and our gym teacher had a ladder in the gym. In an exercise to show us how easy making a basket should be, he climbed the ladder and put two basketballs in the rim, side by side.

I wish it was that easy since an actual rim is half that size. |

All rims look a whole lot bigger when you can get closer to them.

Yeah, the rim is not the size of 2 basketballs. Stand underneath the rim and shoot the ball. You tell me if you think two basketballs can fit through the rim. And I'm not talking about ladies balls.
