What does FIBA stand for? Sorry, I would rather ask you guys than google it up.

FIBA is the french term for the International Basketball Association. I assume they use the French because of "Fifa". In French it's "Fédération Internationale de Basket-ball".

Whats an Mexican American? Mexican, or American? If want to argue nationality as if it's a race, you could say Naismith was either French or English, and if French or English, isn't that really Gaul, Roman, Saxon, Celt, etc.?

He was an American, regardless of where he was born. Emphasize the noun, not the adjective. Please don't mistake this as some kind of "America is better than you" argument, as I could care less about basketball. I'm simply correcting poor revisionist history.
