- "He made a statement last year that had the NBA community in an uproar. That NBA champions aren't world champions"
- "He made a name for himself for people to both root for him and against him, and put more attention on track and field"
- "He said he overcame dyslexia, shout out to him"
- "After the 200m that he lost, he stated that he had Covid AFTER he lost the race, and went out on a wheelchair"

I mean Lyles ain’t wrong.. NBA champs ain’t world champs.

When they beat the teams in the Olympics they become World Champs

But the entire world plays in the nba, its not like baseball where international talent can actually compete with the US. Most players outside of the US couldn't make it in the nba if they wanted to.

I agree with Noah and agree with you, but I don’t think winning the Olympics makes you a world champ, makes you an Olympic champ. I think to be called a world champion you have to win the FIBA Basketball World Cup which Germany is the champion of currently.

Now if the NBA champion played against some of the top teams from South America and Europe and won a tournament then I think that is fair to call them the world champions. For the record an NBA team would in fact smoke a European or South American team, but until you play other parts of the world it is hard to say you are the best in the world.
