James Naismith was Canadian, but he invented basketball in Springfield, Massachusetts. I would say it is equal. Simply for the fact that it would have died in that gym if not for the United States, but possibly not created if not for a Canadian. It also got its name from here as well I believe.Also considering it is more popular here in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world. It is safe to say for Basketball to have a chance to succeed it depended on U.S. obsession for new sports to set it apart from other nations.
