I was listening to a podcast featuring Neil Degrasse Tyson where he learned that 2 basketballs can fit through the same hoop side by aide because the hoop is 4 times the size of 1 ball, yet I can’t picture in my head how that’s possible

A regulation hoop is 18″ diameter. A regulation basketball is 9.43-9.51″ diameter. Simply based on that I don’t see how it is possible for two regulation basketballs to fit in a regulation hoop at the same time.
