I love how Noah got these nikkas in they feelings. This is great for the sport of Track and field. We need more personalities like this.


shytting on teammates and other sports is not great for Track & Field. Was Track and field not fine when Bolt was dominating? Bolt was arrogant and entertaining as all Sprinters are but he wasn’t doing all this annoying shyt like Lyles. What lyles is doing is great for message boards and social media, but not for Track and field.

Are maybe the advantage is the nba rules. Plenty of foreign players have said its easier to score in the nba. So half the guys that look and look like superstars? Probably aint really like that as ive been saying.
And yet Team USA still routinely steamrolls the competition despite the rule adjustment. It's usually just their B-teams that tend to struggle but well...they're B-Teams for a reason lol

Yeah "usually". But then there came a Serbian, whos only weakness is his the fact he wasnt blessed with unlimited stamina.

He and a rag tag group of Serbian personal trainers took the "Supreme team" to war:wow:


So we dont need to discuss "usually". All I know is these NBA teams usually struggle with Jokic it its in the NBA. And now we see they struggle with Jokic in the Olympice even with a dream team. So acting like its a foregone conclusion the Celtics would beat Serbia because of what An NBA SUPERTEAM "usually" does,just doesnt add up.

They "struggled" in the 3rd game they played Serbia after beating them in more than convincing fashion twice before. You're not even mention Bogdanovic who is a rotation NBA player, you dudes aren't arguing in good faith. The Celtics would thrash Team Serbia, and it would look more like how Team USA beat them in the first two games.

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

When they beat the teams in the Olympics they become World Champs
The problem with your equation is we're the defending 5x in a row worried champions. And the best in the world all come to the NBA to become immortalized.

Now at the end of the day you and him are purposely being naive or maybe it's ignorance to the landscape of the sport. Nobody thinks the MLS champions are the world champions of soccer. NBA? We was winning golds with amateurs vs the worlds pros. When we lost in 88 is when the conversation began on "The world uses their pros, why not us?" And the rest is history.

Because otherwise, you can say there's no world champions in any sport unless it's the Olympics. You can argue that point but then you become THAT GUY :picard:

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.

Americans love to be ignorant :pachaha:

You gotta earn it, that's all the rest of the world is saying

Sure the Boston Celtics would most likely smoke Real Madrid. Sure the Warriors would win the championship after going 73-9. You don't crown either as World Champions or NBA Champions until they complete the feat

Ever since this simple point been made, NBA fans have not got out their feelings regarding Lyles :mjlol:
