I think that you mean how many basketballs can be stuck in a hoop and your answer is 2 for regular size baskets. I know it doesn't look like that but 2 can be stuck in the with of the top of the hoop at the same time, both going through. Interesting, eh, but we've all been taught to expect the unexpected.

The round hoop is made of steel, the netting is a woven nylon fiber. The first basket for basketball was literally a basket. A peach basket to be specific. A ladder was used to retrieve the ball after a shot was made. Later a pole was utilized to poke the ball back out.
The first hoop ever was not necessarily a hoop. It was a peach basket. Players would run up and down and put the ball in the basket for two points.
umm.... the bucket? the hole? basket?
Nothing. It was a peach basket.
When James Naismith invented the game, the hoop was a peach basket WITH the bottom still in it.
