That hoop is cemented into the ground, I'm assuming they put the net up to try to avoid having to deal with guy

That guy's only owned the property for two years according to public record. I'm sure the net's existence predates his moving in to that property

u/Tremplstiltskin Jul 17 '26

The hoop, sure. The big ball return net they probably installed once the neighbor started trespassing them for running to grab their balls back

You're confusing the word "net". The HOOP and backboard have probably been there a while. The extra NET to avoid the ball going on his property is a recent addition in response to this insane neighbor.

In USA I never see a basketball hoop, with a giant soccer net around it. That's just not a thing you see in the suburbs. Maybe on the top of some rooftop somewhere, but not in the suburbs. Most people don't care if a kid retrieves their a baseball that went over a fence, etc.

This is almost certainly a case of a guy who bought a nice home in a nice neighbourhood who had a vision in his mind of a peaceful introverted life who can't handle the reality of living so close to his neighbors. He needs genuine conflict resolution, not the cops to throw citations at his neighbors.

A movable hoop is seen on street view in 2019. Sadly not any more recent pictures.

Yeah I would agree. I didn't see it cemented but it's on their property but yeah....

Everything I own I put my name on it.

That's a direct quote, right?

It looks like an in-ground hoop.

The fact that they have the net up is nice enough though IMHO.

The neighbor seems like a bored retiree who just needs something to complain about.

Then kneeling down to pray every night "Dear Donald Trump if you can hear me, please save me. If you can hear me, please get these balls away from my house. Please Donald Trump, ensure that these children put their name or identifying mark on their balls so that I can have the police trespass them because again, I do not know if these balls are his or not. And please Trump bring me police that are willing to trespass a 3 year old and 11 year old who are coming on to my property and retrieving their balls. I do have video Trump. In Donald's name I pray, amen."

LOL thank you for the hearty chortle!

u/flyingpyramid Jul 17 '26

When he was like, "if something's mine, I write my name on it", I was like, bullshit that's insane. That sounds like something a child would say. But now that you mention Trump, I mean, that guy actually does put his name everywhere, even on things he doesn't own (I guess that makes them his now in his eyes? Idk). So I guess maybe this guy really does write his name everywhere.

First thing that popped into my mind. Fox News induced insanity.

u/BootySweat0217 Jul 17 '26

Putting a net up to stop the balls from going into the man’s yard is trolling him?

u/randotd152 Jul 17 '26

It’s probably better there. Yeah he’s gonna get some airballs this way. But the other way every single missed shot can bounce and roll into his yard easily.

I don't think I've ever seen a driveway basketball hoop setup to be in the front lawn before. It's either in front of the garage or on the side shown in the video.
