James Naismith invented basket ball. He was Canadian, but he was in the United States when he invented it. I'm not too sure how you would consider that though.

We sure did! Also, I live in Beachville, Ontario, Canada - home of the first recorded Baseball Game. And of course there's Hockey, too! Canadians invent lots of great sports.

no longer entirely. Dr. Naismith got here up with the game at a time while there have been in user-friendly terms 2 significant activities in united states of america : soccer and baseball. considering the fact that baseball is a summer season game, and soccer a iciness game, and the two are performed exterior, neither could be performed in 2 ft of snow. So he got here up with a game that is performed indoors to maintain the two baseball and soccer gamers in shape interior the iciness.
