The Chinese claim they were playing basketball early 1860s. This James guy is born 1861. Something is off

Which Chinese? The first game of basketball played in China was in 1895 (brought there by the YMCA).
James Naismith invented, wrote and published the rules for the game of “Basket Ball” in 1892.

Your dates are off. Chinese were introduced to basketball in 1895. Canada trying to claim basketball when it has one Olympic medal in its history is pretty funny though.

Ask @grange how you can become world champion by winning a domestic league.
Apparently something is American if it was made by someone born and raised in Canada…

Fair enough the Canadians can have that one. I never understood the difference between them and Americans. For me they are the same no

The Brits invented like pretty much every real sport ever, and have fk all to show for it.
I’m almost beginning to side with the Canadians version of events based on this.

To be fair, if you win the NBA title then you are the best team in the world to be honest.
But why stop there, imo...call themselves champions of the universe!

Martinelli... "I have got 2 goals and 2 assists in the last 3 league games and look like I am getting back to my 22/23 seasons levels...let's see how Arsenal Mania is talking about me in my thread, I hope it's good things with all the work I am doing!"

Canadians are afraid to make eye contact and they apologize for everything including being born. Plus, a certain cult of the French variety puts gravy on french fries (chips). @Bagels trying to tell us a group of these invented basketball smh

Motherf*cker you put gravy on bread
Citizens of a nation that deep fries chocolate bars and butter simply cannot judge another country for their cuisine.

Everyone knows it's Canada's sport. When we beat the Soviets in '72 despite being completely blindsided by how they were actually better , by sending Bobby Clarke out to intentionally break Valeri Kharlamov's ankle, that's when Canada arrived on the world stage.
