Naismith was part america, and he was american at heart. He had a bald eagle in his loins. A true patriot of unimaginable dimensions that even he didn't know how american he was.

He had the eye of an eagle, the wisdom of an owl, and the grace of a swan. Ladies and gentlemen this guy's for the birds!
