A tree is not a basketball hoop secured only by a concrete-filled tire. It was very foreseeable that the hoop would fall over in a storm -- any storm. When it did fall, it fell into a PUBLIC area. (Parking in front of the neighbors house is allowed. This is not like parking on the neighbor's property.) A tree is very different, even if it falls onto your property. Even so, I think your neighbor was liable if they knew the tree to be diseased and did nothing about it.
