The magnificent game of basketball was created in the gym of The University of Kansas by a man named James Naismith.
I would say Kansas University because that is where James Naismith is originally from. James Naismith created the game of basketball and that is why the trophy is named after him. The award is for the best basketball player in college basketball every year. I might be wrong so don't take my word for it about the Kansas University thing. It is just an educated guess.
