So you have a large driveway too. I'm hoping putting in a small court isn't a waste of time. I basically squeeze every single square foot from the area I have to work with.

So I have a 2 car-wide driveway with a cutout that can fit 3-4 more. I don't know the exact dimensions but maybe like 40X40 with more space down my driveway that's not really part of the "court".
If you don't really care about the extra cost I would definitely go with the 72" based on my personal preference. If you play league or at the rec or anything they'll also likely have 72" so I prefer just playing on the standard size.

Thanks. I wish I had to room for a 40x40. My court is going to be 27 deep and 30 wide with only a 2 foot backboard overhand and my workshop on the right side of the court. Its not ideal.
The hoop is for me. As long as it is under $3,000 I'm fine. My biggest concern was the space for a full size hoop. My days of playing in any sort of league are probably over but I still want to play 2 vs 2 or 3 on 3 with friends. I used to play more under the hoop with a good post up game and I was quick and could blow past people from the top of the key.
Now I am much slower but have learned to shoot lights out from deep. This small of court takes away what I am still good at. I guess I'll go with the 72" and if it doesn't work I have a small piece of land left at the base of a hill I could work with later on and just move the hoop there.
If my damn power/cable lines weren't directly in the way of paving my driveway and extending it a bit it would be perfect. I think I am going to go with the Megaslam 72" Hoop. Slightly thicker backboard, all pads being included and 5 Gauge Steel 8x6 pole won me over. With the lighting system everything after tax should run me under $3000.
