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.
FIBA Basketball World Cup over Olympics is some arbitrary nonsense based entirely off of semantics. For one thing, the FIBA World Cup is literally a qualifying tournament for the Olympics - that inherently makes it less of a world championship :heh:. And on top of that, the NBA sends a bunch of roleplayers to the FIBA championships these days. The FIBA World Cup is like the Intercontinental Title :mjlol:

A real world cup would be the best teams in every league. But let's be serious. The NBA is by far the best basketball league in the world, with the best players from all over the world. Every country's best player that's worth a damn plays in the NBA.

Nobody on any other international team could even crack an NBA roster, and how do I know this? Because theyd be on the NBA if they could :heh:

The NBA champion is the best team in the world. Let's cut out all of the semantic bullshyt.

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.
The entire world does not play in the NBA. Individual players from all over the world play in the NBA. FIBA and the Olympics are world competitions.

Idk how you are saying international talent can’t compete with the NBA when:

1. You just said international players compete in the NBA. Some of the best players are international players.

2. The Olympics was very competitive this year

3. The US barely won with once in a generation level talent like Lebron, curry, KD on the team. I seriously doubt the US will win the next Olympics with these players gone.

Dawg, think about what you're saying. What do all the international teams that give USA fits have in common? All of them have multiple players that are in the NBA!

Were not talking about USA basketball when we're talking world champs. We're talking about the NBA - a league where all of the best international players are. If players on other international teams could even fukk with the 12th man on an NBA roster...they'd be in the NBA :heh:

For all intents and purposes, the NBA is the world basketball league. Does it sound like typical sollipsistic American exceptionalism? In a vacuum, yeah. But is it true? Demonstrably so.

You’re making the same point everyone else is making: “the NBA has the best talent in the world so it’s like being world champs”

The title “world champion” does not specify talent level, it specifies the type of competition in the particular league.

Case in point, the USA lost the Olympics in 2004 and the pistons won the title that same year. Were the Detroit pistons world champs that year? No.
Does that mean the Argentina is better than the pistons? No.

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

When they beat the teams in the Olympics they become World Champs
He is wrong for the exact reason Draymond said. NBA is the best league in the world. NBA is a league. Olympics is an event every 4 years. It's not the same.

Noah Lyles won the 100M .... the biggest, most popular race in the world..... Draymond is an idiot. Nobody can say shyt to Noah

Noah’s whole issue is he thinks because he won the 100m world championships that automatically makes him a star and everyone should adore him.

Fact is most people are indifferent to straight up dislike that nikka. Winning more races won’t change that, his personality is grating. People like athletes and buy their gear because they respect them and often want to be like them. Nobody wants to be like this LGBTQ adjacent nikka Noah Lyles.

American men don’t like him, women are indifferent towards him, foreigners don’t like him. Not even the folks on the USA track team rock with him. Rai Benjamin and Sydney McLaughlin are the most popular athletes in that circle by far. Exactly who is he supposed to be selling shoes to?

All Noah Lyles did was jumpstart all these jealous racist cacs and foreigners to talk shyt about the NBA

Reading comment sections I’ve noticed that too. I hate black being getting caught up in that and agreeing because we’re just arguing technicality of the phrase world champions, we all know the best hoopers play in the league. Meanwhile you can feel the animosity when cacs agree.

What is Draymonds redeeming quality to the Coli for him to get consistently posted?

Many of his takes are obvious shock value takes for publicity, he consistently lacks self awareness in that he is complaining about or attacking people that show behaviors draymond embodies, his been a fringe top 30 player at best in his peak season in the league and is relevant because of who he plays with not who he is, and he has the entertainment value as watching paint dry.

What do yall like about this guy that has you sharing his content so much?
