How high is the basketball rim in the NBA?

I’ve always wondered about the official height of the basketball rim in the National Basketball Association and whether it has ever changed over time. It looks simple, but that standard height plays a huge role in how the game is played, especially for dunks and shooting. Do different leagues or levels use the same rim height, or are there variations? Curious to know more about this!
