APOPKA, Fla. - eTradeWire -- The legacy they tried to erase—and the man fighting to bring it back.
The  Naismith international basketball foundation (NIBF).

The truth they don't want you to know!  For over a century, basketball's true history has been manipulated by organizations that prioritize profits over principles. The NBA, basketball hall of fame, YMCA, and other entities have systematically have been trying to erase the Naismith international basketball foundation (NIBF) —the only true organization dedicated to protecting Dr. James Naismith's true mission.

The facts:
2023 -NBA 2k tournament sabotaged: the NBA shut down the Naismith NBA 2k tournament projected to raise in one weekend over $500,000,000.00 in fundraising dollars and lied, claiming 2k sports dismissed it, but we have proof in writing that it was the NBA's decision.

2024-The Naismith family's betrayal: Mr. Michael Roech, Mr. Joe Paysinger and Mr. Jim Naismith/ Naismith legacy secretly rebranded the Naismith good sportsmanship award into the "Naismith legacy award", cutting NIBF out and violating prior agreements.

Financial & reputational sabotage: over $172m lost due to intentional blocking of partnerships, sponsorships, and licensing opportunities that would have honored basketball's true roots. Not including the potential of $500,000,000.00 from the 2k event!

2021 Ignored & stonewalled by major basketball institutions:
The NBA, basketball hall of fame, and YMCA, FIBA etc. Etc., have deliberately refused to work with NIBF, despite using Dr. James Naismith's name for their own benefit. We have proposed the 75th anniversary award that is the biggest in sports history and they refused- with no explanation? Still waiting for an answer why they did not want to receive the award?  - https://naismithfoundation.org/good-sportsmanship-award

Why speak out before the NBA all-star game?
Enough is enough already! The world is watching. The NBA is celebrating its stars—while the real legacy of basketball is being disrespected especially by the NBA! A change that will force the NBA to acknowledge the truth.

The NIBF is launching:
The Naismith good sportsmanship tour #2025 #reduce #recidivism – educating the next generation on the real roots of basketball. And the importance of a good education and making better decisions that will propel them forward not backwards in life. A groundbreaking innovation in basketball.

The message of Ian Naismith must live on!
"Dignity, Honor, and Respect do not need to change. And we are not buying into that. It's that simple."  Mr. Ian Naismith

The NIBF will not be disrespected! by nobody - not even the Naismith's!

NOBODY IS BIGGER THEN THE GAME NOBODY!
