The inside diameter of a regulation rim is 18 inches. A regulation NBA Basketball is between 29 1/2 to 29 7/8 inches in circumference, equating to a diameter of 9.39 to 9.51 inches, or an average of 9.45 inches. Now is where simple math will tell you that they won't fit, but both are able to compress over 1/2 inch each with minimal force, leaving you with a tightly fitting yet extremely possible attempt at making two basketballs at the same time. Conversely, you can take two basketballs placed side by side and place them on the top cylinder of the rim and make them not go through.

How Many basketballs stuck in a basket hoop?
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.

Can two basketballs fit through one rim?
I don't pretend to have all the answers, but during my days of learning fundamentals, we were taught/showed numerous times, (during B'ball camp) Coach Stan Kelner's program called the Cybernetics of B'ball, which it was repeatedly stated, in fact, that was how they determined the size of the 'basket'...but putting two balls aside each other. The "nominal" diameter of a standard basketball is 9 inches. Therefore, "forcing" is not needed, the weight of the balls themselves allows them to pass through, but again, are they new, old, cold, hot, wet, dry? Too many questions to waste time arguing.yes actually it can. my teacher even tried it and it worked. so HAHAH yerr wrong!!!thanksbyeeYou're teacher "trying" it doesn't fully answer the question. The circumference of a basketball is 29-30 inches, making the diameter 9.39-9.55 inches. The inside diameter of a basketball rim is 18".Thus, your teacher could force the balls through, but they would not fit on their own.
