James Naismith is no longer alive. He was born on November 6, 1861 and died on November 28, 1939. He died at the age of 78. He would be 150 if he was still alive.
James Naismith's parents, John and Margaret Naismith, both died when he was young. His father passed away from pneumonia when Naismith was just 9 years old, and his mother died shortly thereafter, leaving him orphaned. Following their deaths, he was raised by his mother's relatives in Ontario, Canada. This early loss had a significant impact on his life and character.
