No, it was invented by an American who was born in Canada. America is a country of immigrants, not unlike Canada. If we were to define origination by the persons roots, no one would be Candadian or American except for indiginous peoples.
America is a country, and his citizenship was American. Therefore he is American. Honestly, if I were a Canadian I would not harp on this. The man obviously loved Canada so much he left it and became an American.
I appreciate your nationalism, but nationalism does not change facts.

You're right. Canada is an American country.

Typhoid, thanks for the clarification. I'll trust trust your sources are better than wikipedia's. The wiki should have stated he was a dual citizen, not Canadian American, which falsely indicates that he was solely an American of Canadian heritage (like African American, etc.). So in the end, both of us can claim the invention of basketball, so everyone should be happy?
You know what is an American invention? AWESOMENESS

One-in-the same.
Sure, you can claim awesomeness - it's all yours. But your wife's tits are held up by our Wonderbra.
