- Following his win in the 200m - part of his 3-for-3 performance at the world athletics championships in Budapest - US sprinter Noah Lyles took a swipe at the NBA for calling the season winners world champions.
Subscribe to Guardian Sport ► bit.ly/GDNSport
'I watch the NBA Finals and they have "world champion" on their head. World champion of what? The United States?” Lyles said.
'Don't get me wrong. I love the US - at times - but that ain't the world,' the 26-year-old added. Lyles elaborated to say that track is a true international sport, adding 'we have almost every country out here fighting, thriving, putting on their flag'. His playful comments drew a reaction from a number of NBA players, with Kevin Durant commenting on Instagram: 'Somebody help this brother'.

He was correct but he turned out to be extra correct after Germany beats USA 😂😂😂
That’s USA’s C-Team son.
@@StS9LBJ23still no excuses. Serbia also doesn't have Jokic.
@@llbuitre ok but one player gone from serbia's lineup isn't the same thing as every current nba superstar gone from the USA linup
that is just a lazy excuse... real reason "a team" didnt come is because they know they would be humiliated and then muricans cant have that illusion anymore how they are best in the world. They are not @@masch_123
the US is not even able to win the world cup...
Its refreshing to see a non-delusional american for once.
It's a rare sighting 😂
I think when you compete in ATHLETICS that claim doesn’t resonate with you even though the statement itself is LIKELY true.
Just like the winner of the Champions League is the best football team in the world.
It's boring to hear from a non American who childishly misrepresents and entire country.
Wrong, thats the FIFA Club World Cup@@user-xv8vu4xn7r
@@user-xv8vu4xn7r, They don't claim it, there is a club world cup for that, don't make things up. Only NBA fans claim it like that, European football fans are mature, mainly because some of their leagues are older than most of the states in USA

2. People get triggered
3. USA loses to Germany 2 weeks later

Untrue bruh. Basketball way bigger than track
@@rohanghose8707But other countries care more about international events, than the Nba
@@sebastianbothe1228 but America doesnt care about international events more than MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL
@@rohanghose8707 Only in the US dude. The US is one country out of 195, and not even the biggest or most populated country at that. In most countries outside the US, basketball wouldn't even be in the top 10 sports. In the UK Netball is the 10th biggest sport and is a bigger sport than basketball. Athletics/Track is 6th on the list, easily bigger than basketball.
Don't cha think?
Love the way he said "World champion of what? The United States?" 🤣
World best of Basketball league is an NBA , not calling a " World champions".

@@Only1Kizzthe players arent all from one nation goofy
This aged so beautifully! What a legend
Yep😂
Even the US won the World Cup this year
It's basic logic: NBA champions are NOT World Champions
nba can change its name to wnba then its world champion
What are yall so mad about, the united states are still world champions of basketball, the nba is the top basketball league, even though the u.s just lost fiba, its cause they didnt send their best players like everyone else, cause they didnt wanna bully other countries like they usually do.
@@GSOGKAmeans anything. You can’t just say that USA didn’t sent the best players, this is a world competition, if you don’t send the best players it’s your problem, not a problem for others. Too easy to say: “yeah you won cause we didn’t care about winning”, the sport itself won’t exist anymore with this way to think.
USA lost and they must accept it with honor
You know what’s more worrying? The nba players were insulting him for saying this😂 they all believe the world champion tag they put on themselves. What a bunch of entitled fools😂
But the one thing they couldn't do is explain what they are world champions. National champions yes, world champions, stop making us laugh 😂😂😂
Name a non-NBA team that would beat an NBA team.
@@helgey7212 that still doesn’t validate calling yourself world champions of a sport that you gave yourself as a title. It’s the same thing in football (soccer in america) the champions of UEFA Champions league are champions of Europe but they don’t go around calling themselves the champions of the world when they probably just might be the best team in the world.
The US national team. Or the German team for that matter 😂 (you know, like teams that actually play for world championships) @@helgey7212
@@ishwarbepin9183y’know. I agreed with the whole best teams in the world are in the NBA, therefore worlds champs would be NBA champs. But, that made more sense. It’s not a logical thing. It’s a respect thing. Yeah the NBA teams have by far the best talent. But it’s rude to discount other teams and leagues as if it is for they are better.
“Facts don’t care about your feelings.”
11 days later, he is more right than ever
He wasn't talking about the USA men's team. He was talking about the NBA champs being falsely called the world champs. 2 different subjects
@@action_jackson30he's still right because the US got molly whopped
@@action_jackson30these were two topics yes but noah was still right
@@AJ-wz1dc Yes technically he is right. I'm just saying the USA MEN'S team loss has nothing to do with his statement.
@@action_jackson30yes it has nothing to do with USA loosing but it made the statement way more authentic
He has a mega point. He just said out loud what many have been whispering a long time ago
Agree....
He’s right, but nobody whispers if there was a Slavic or France team in the NBA they’d win lol. NBA is full of international players playing for random cities they mostly don’t care about. Also the NBA has about 90% of the best basketball players on earth. It’s comparing apples to oranges.
Who’s been whispering, I have been screaming it for decades….
I meeeeeean doesn’t the NBA have a team that plays other countries with Basketball teams every 4 years or so….oh wait in the Olympics? There are a set of players that travel across seas to play other players within other countries to win the Olympic basketball team……I mean if he would have said football then that would have been a valid point…..
No he's just completely wrong! And you can tell that he doesn't really follow the NBA to be making bold statements like this publicly. The NBA doesn't just have USA players. Where's Jokic from? Luka? Giannis? Etc etc etc. The NBA has the best players from all over the world. And it clearly shows 99.9% of the time during FIBA, the Olympics, etc.
Finally a American that isnt ignorant or arrogant
He’s definitely arrogant
@@Shinobi-sw3fb He is a winner
He's wrong
Explain how😂@@wilcross50
This is a super ignorant and arrogant thing to say.
This was one of the best "Let me tell em´" moments in history.
Already Legendary
Give that man another gold medal for the best comment others are unwilling or afraid to say.🏅
This argument is about nothing more than Semantics. Spain is considered the current World Champion in basketball but the Olympics are higher on the totem pole of world competition seeing as how every nation sends their best possible team for that set of global competition. The NBA is the best basketball league in the world comprising of the best basketball players in the world. No other team on the planet is beating the Nuggets in a playoff series, so what difference does it make if they are referred to as NBA or World Champions ???
@@Tr3yification U do realise theres people from other countries playing in the NBA right?
@@Tr3yification It's more than semantics. Noah is dead right. They are national champions with diverse players from around the world. But they are not competing against other countries. Thus, the NBA (National Basketball Association). The USA team is our World League that competes during the Olympics. And although they have dominated over the years. They have also lost on more than a few occasions.
@@TheBlink247 Read the post, I already said it’s the best league in the world with the best players in the world. What other league champion is beating an NBA Champion in a 7 game series ???
@@RaphaelAshanti It’s completely about semantics because the NBA Champion is generally regarded as the best team in the world. During the 90’s there used to be an International tournament called the McDonald’s Championship that used to invite an NBA team to play against championship clubs from Europe, South America, & the NBL* (Oceania region). It ran for 9 years with the NBA representative winning all nine years. So again, what difference does it make referring to the NBA champ as the World champ ??? No other team in the world will beat the NBA champ in a series.
13 days later, USA went home without a medal again.
title of world champion of united States
The best NBA players are Greek Serbian and Slovenian… NBA champions = world champions
It’s like saying the Olympics of what? France?
So ?? Does that mean he was wrong ???
@@superstrongr yes he was wrong the NBA isn’t Americans neither is MLB they’re world champions for the same reason Formula one champions are
If nba is world champions than Germany are galaxy champions
This kind of foolish debate only could happen in USA. Everybody else knows that guy is rigth.
Use your brain for a change
@@Okthen-jc2yi It's not a foolish debate. The best basketball players in the WORLD strive to be in the NBA. Very simple. Same goes for the NFL
It doesn't matter lol if you didn't win world champion then you're not world champion, there is no debate 😂 @@ludachad05

At least one American think ! He's 100% correct ! USA is not the world !

Still, the NBA is the best league in the world. No European team can beat the Nuggets
so what? it’s still a national league.
@@user-xn7ms6tx5c so they are World Champions because they are the best team in the world. Winning MVP in NBA makes you the best player in the world. Nobody is talking about the MVP in Europe.

He said “You have to be one of the top 400 in the world” to win a gold medal in track but the top 400 in the world all play in the NBA.
He also just blatantly lied as the Denver nuggets hats said “NBA champions” not “world champions”. This was just a VERY CORNY promo tactic and the fools can’t see through it of course.
@@jamesonedwardsii4943Well said bro. That was corny as f**k. Creating a division for what? Funny thing I bet when he won those NBA players who he took shots at probably was happy for him.

He is from africa
@@jamesonedwardsii4943Your first Statement isn’t right tho. The top 10 euro league players are easily better than some of the worst nba players so no. Then there is talent from other leagues like the Australian basketball league and so on.
Noah was so correct that USA decided to call in The Avengers for the Olympics
why wouldnt they get their best players tho?☠️
This aged to greatly. Big up Noah Lyles
He's absolutely right. Winning the best league does not mean world champions.
It does when that league is the only league in the entire sport across the world that features the best players in the world... It's not like soccer and track where you have multiple leagues and competitions where the best in that sport compete against each other... Basketball doesn't have that... FIBA world cup for basketball features mostly players that can't make the NBA... Same for Olympics and any other basketball league... These are second tier and lower players... So yeah in soccer or track winning the best league doesn't make you a world champion because the best players play in multiple leagues and competitions... But in basketball... The NBA is the only competition where you will find the best players in the world playing basketball... y'all don't understand because your entire sports knowledge is based off of just one sport... Soccer... You think every sport is designed like soccer lol... So you think the NBA is just another league like the many football leagues... It's not...
@@andrdmosley Makes no fking sense...they never played a team outside the US and name themselves world champions, how?
@@andrdmosley the 1992 dream team was considered world champions they beat every other country to earn the right to call themselves world champions. The 2023 Denver nuggets beat every NBA team and became champions.
One team beat all other countries to win the gold medal vs another who beat NBA teams to win a NBA trophy.

Hi here is Gemany, the World Champion!
100% agree. The US does with baseball too. Makes no sense.
NBA -> NATIONAL Basketball Association, I repeat, NATIONAL... Cant be world champions playing a national league!! He's absolutely right!
Another ignorant comment... That's literally just a name that was created 75 years ago when the NBA was only National... It hasn't been a national League for the last 40 years..
Look up international league... A minor league organization will come up that literally only has American teams... But it's called international league because it started off as a league 70 years ago with teams from different countries... But not anymore... But the name didn't change... So only an child would use a name for an organization as a defense for this lol
Unlike Other sports like Track, Soccer etc... There aren't multiple leagues and multiple competitions where the best players play... There's only one basketball league where the best players from across the entire planet play... And that's the NBA... Euroleagues, Spanish leagues, FIBA, Olympics none of those competitions or leagues showcase the best basketball players in the world... The best players in the world don't compete in those for basketball...
@@andrdmosley - Let's not move the goalpost here and stick with what Noah Lyles said. Is his comment true or false in regards to the context he speaks. Why does @celsomonteiro6541 'have to' "Look up international league" when this is a non-complex issue at hand. We are not talking about international leagues. We are talking about the National Basketball Association which is present here and operates within the United States of America. @celsomonteiro6541 comment is not ignorant. It would seem you are moving the conversation 'goalpost' to win this debate, or you are simply just trollin' to be controversial and garner attention.
@@andrdmosleyI mean wow, what a flowed argument and wrong too. So how many countries compete in the NBA? So now English premier league is also a world championship league? Come on get real
Facts
The NBA is an amalgamation of national and international athletes that gather predominately in the US to compete. USA Track & Field is the United States national governing body for the sports of track and field...affiliated with world athletics. The NBA hails global athletes.
Lyles is hollering stupidity simply because he won his medals on foreign land.
Furthermore, at the end of the season, the champions wear a hat that says: 2023 NBA Champs.
This only bothers people that think america is the whole world. Just because you draft some players from other countries doesn’t make you the whole world.
Technically he is semantically correct but Olympic basketball specifically isn’t the highest level of play in the sport.
I get what he's saying. It can be frustrating the amount of attention and credit ball players get in the US compared to people competing on the world stage
@@obvv7714 so then why is it when the US wins they call themselves the best? But when another country wins then all the sudden its not the highest level
Exactly. Arrogance
But the nba is already the best league in the world. The worst nba team smashes the best euro team and that’s just because the best competition is in the us
I used to think that I was alone in this argument. About time another one called out the NBA on this.
I am with you and I think they should remove the word Worldchampions out of the banners you see hanging in the arenas, disgusting. You never hear Manchester City claiming they are worldchampions while they are Premier League champions
The USA should be able to put together a competent basketball squad.
He is just pointing out what the rest of the world knows. The NBA may be the best basketball league and have the best players in the world, but their contests are between teams in North America, not between teams representing countries around the world. It’s just a simple fact. Of course no other basketball team outside of the US can beat the Nuggets, but that is not the point. The title World Champion is not about being the world’s best, but a title conferred to a team representing one country beating another country’s team. Any American that disagrees is ignorant.
But wouldn’t that be a waste of time?
Can someone send me video of what Noah Lyles is saying? Where did the nba players call themselves World Champ and have World Champ on their head? Someone send me a vid please.

Nothing new there, is not the first time. Do you think the NBA and MLB cares about what this fast mouth said. Their business is money, money, money. Money that Lyle wil never make running for five or six years.
Champion of what? You guys keep forgetting that the Barcelona team was a one sided show. Players from other countries were more interested in taking pictures with the US players. That will never happen again.
@@LuisFSilva-gm9ms That's the reason why NBA suck. Too focused on generating money that killed the competitive spirit of players.

FACTS...FACTS...FACTS...💯👏👌Someone on the world stage should have said this a long time ago. Any NBA player that gets upset with what he said is delusional.
Facts ?? Show me where the global brand, the NBA uses "world" in reference to their championship. Their championship series are called The NBA Finals. Winners are called The NBA Finals Champions. Noah stated he see "world champions" on their head, Google images of NBA Championship,official hats the winners wear on the floor does not have the word "world". So Noah is not speaking facts at all.

Lyles is correct. Why are people mad?
Because people are ignorant 😂
Because they are Americans and never studied world geography.
The NBA is popular worldwide because of the money, and because it occurs in the birthplace of basketball itself.
Still doesn't make the NBA a "world championship"
It's one of those Goku vs Superman type deals, where people invest great energy in arguing a fantasy. There is no real argument. It's obvious the champions of the USA cannot be called the world champions. That is plainly obvious. Ppl love fantasies though.
He is right, he's just entirely too emotional about it. Those players have done nothing to take food off his table.

He’s facing backlash from this? Is this not the truth? Notice how he specifically said the NBA Finals and not Team USA
No, it's a ridiculous take. The NBA champs can beat any national team in the world, including team USA.
@@solido888 Nothing in sports is 100% so don't call yourself a world champ unless you've actually proven it.
@@kryndude I agree. Whoever wins the FIBA tournament should have to beat the Denver Nuggets to call themselves world champs.
@@solido888 Which country does the Denver Nuggets represent?
@@kryndude A bunch of different countries. Any more irrelevant questions that can be easily answered with google?
Respect young man
You have to understand geography to understand he’s right. 😊
guys i am from brasil and i really love nba and u guys culture but makes sense, u have to win a world champion to be a world champion, even you guys beeing much much better than the rest togheter, still an american title
The N stands for National, so National champion is all you can be.
Who’s here after Lithuania beat USA😂
Lithuania and Germany! "wOrLd ChAmPiOnS" LOL! 😄
USA Basketball just took a big L against Lithuania. So these words are very true. Global basketball has surpassed the NBA.
And now, against Germany
Have you forgotten that almost all teams from all over the world have been led by NBA players! That nba player leading his country is a representative of the nba. NBA IS A PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE DIFFERENT FROM FIBA AND THE OLYMPICS.
@@jolli4116 lots of FOREIGN NBA players
@@TPWM yes, that makes the nba an international league. 140 foreign players are currently playing in the nba right now.
PERFEITO
How can you call yourself World champion when there are no other country involved??
He was definitely right!
Well said , man is 100% on point
Well said? Being fast on the track does make an outstanding orator. What he said was unsolicited and uncalled for. Formulating complete sentences does not mean it was "well" said.
@@ernestrobinson1161 So, he doesn't have a right to his opinion??
The best players in the world play in the nba. There are players from china, africa, europe, russia, north america, south america, etc. I would totally understand his point if the NBA was strictly USA players but its not. The last ranked team in the NBA would smoke the champs of every other league in the world. There’s a reason why the best players from other leagues come to the NBA. Get rid of your guys feelings and stick to reality. Noah just jealous cuz he makes peanuts compared to NBA, NFL, and MLB players lol
@@Bobby223boucher Sure, but each NBA team is not made up of players from a single country; they are mixed. Therefore, they cannot accurately be called "world champions." Maybe they are "Champions of the best teams with the finest players". But that's it.
are u high??? its the highest level of bball in the world, so rightfully we call it the world championship
Totally agree, my guy
Saludos desde España
Hahaha 🇬🇧 we been thinking that for decades 😂😂😂😂
Noah said what we all have been thinking about for years out loud 😂.
The so called first "world war" took place in Europe only. I hear nobody complaining about that.
Not me
@@michaelgrant7530in football (soccer) u will not say ur world champion if u win the premier league which is the best league in the world atm, u wouldn’t even call urself a world champion if u won the champions league, and that’s the most prestigious trophy a club can ever have in Europe. They’re only world champions when they won the World Cup, and USA didn’t win the basketball World Cup, so why should they be called world champions?
Na América do Sul ganha Libertadores
Na Europa ganha a a Champions League
Aí sim tem o mundial de clubes
He's got the timing, delivery and perception of a comedian. Gotta love him.
