Why hoops for you?
I knew my wife and I would be renting our current place in L.A. five seconds after we walked in to see it. My wife walked in the door, saw the pretty living room and fireplace, and softly said, "wow". A smart man knows when to listen to wow.
My conversion came about five minutes later, out in the backyard.
There, I found a basketball hoop on the edge of a 20' by 20' concrete pad. The backboard may have been half-detached, the hoop may have been rusted through, and the net may not have actually existed, but I saw a lot of post-work sky hooks in my next several years.
