text: Hi: John Naismith was an early dual citizen. In Canada\n we tend to adapt anyone we can as our own. Steve Nash\n was born in Johannesborg S Africa, lived for a time in MY\n home town, Regina Saskatchewan, Canada, then, moved to\n Victoria, British Columbua, Canada. We also sort of claim:\n golfer Steven Aimes, tennis doubles man Daniel Nestor\n and Heavyweight Champion Lennox Lewis, who claims several \ncitizenships. So basketball originated right here in Canada.
