High Hoopster

     What sort of person erects a basketball hoop on a third story balcony? It overlooks an alley in one of the most expensive neighborhoods of Boston.
     Maybe the owner shoots baskets with a little kid. Or perhaps the man is a Celtics fan with a flair for the dramatic. Or maybe he’s an eccentric.
     A grill for cooking—not visible in the photo—is also located on the balcony.
     The man is probably an extrovert who’s fun to hang out with, and shoot hoops with.
