As corny as it may sound, there's just something special about a basketball hoop.

It could be the backdrop, a tilted rim, a perfect net, a uniquely shaped pole, the contrasting color of the box inside the backboard or the backboard being beat like a pinata.

These quirks give each hoop its own personality, as well as artistic flair, as these incredible and dedicated photographers have captured on Instagram:
