Basketball and hip hop music have always gone together as both are very popular in urban areas. It’s also popular in the suburbs as well. Here’s a great video from Bow Bow on the subject which captures the passion for the sport.

Even with all the problems the NBA is having with the lockout and contracts for million of dollars, kids still love basketball for the game. All you need is a ball and a hoop, and all of a sudden a group of kids can stay occupied for hours.

For this reason, the sports has remained popular in both urban and suburban environments, though playgrounds, school gyms or hoops put in driveways.

With the holiday season rolling around, basketball goals for the driveway can make for a great family gift. Imagine how excited most kids would be to have their own hoop in their own driveway. They can play with their friends, and their parents as well.
