Who We Are

The Naismith International Basketball Foundation was founded by the youngest grandson of Dr. James Naismith himself. Mr. Ian Naismith alongside his beautiful wife Renée DiGiulio Naismith, since June of 1998 this foundation starting blazing trails. By recognizing amazing athletes and contributors to the game his grandfather invented. Therefore, he created the Naismith International Basketball Foundations Sportsmanship Award. please visit our website and you can review the many that received this prestigious award, that started with the man himself - Michael Jordan.
