Most of Canada doesnt know what basketball is. James Naismith was Canadian. Also, now that Canada is becoming more multicultural, more and more you hear hockey derided as a game for "White Canadian rednecks."

Why would a Canadian team visit the White House anyway?I'm enjoying how Canadians are celebrating "their" team of American players, eh?

I can’t think of any reason a team from Toronto should be invited to the White House anyway

Do you think The Raptors will visit The White House??? I don't think they have a TRUMP hating Coach but a lot of Black players so I'm guessing NO

I hope Trump doesn't invite themI hope Trump doesn't invite any teams to the White House. It just allows the thugs and the chronically unhappy the opportunity to criticize our president.

The Praries are worth it, as are Northern Territories and Nova Scotia. They can keep the left coasts and the Québécois but we get Rush and Gordon Lightfoot.

Yes, Naismith was born in Ontario, Canada but he became a citizen as an adult.
BTW, if you read the history of basketball, is credited with inventing the game of basketball but it apparently was similar to another game of that time.
The first game of basketball was played between the faculty and students. One of the players was Amos Alonzo Stagg who had just graduated from Yale and who later went on to coach football at the University of Chicago for years. He invented many football plays including (allegedly) the t-formation, lateral pass, and my favorites the fumble ruskie and the statue of liberty play. Almost forgot - he allegedly invented the batting cage and the tackling dummy.

There's absolutely *no* reason for them to go to the White House.

Well...it is a Canadian basketball team. Would the Maple Leafs go to the White House if they won the Stanley Cup?

"Why would a Canadian team visit the White House anyway"
First thing I thought, too. Stay in Canada, where you can be happy for yourselves.
