Whole NBA on Noah Lyles head rn

[Roid Jones]

Shame to see such a phenomenal track star begging for attention like that.

And yet he will get attention

 

[concise]

My thoughts exactly

plus NBA is in their offseason so he KNEW them players were bored as hell nd had nothing better to do than to respond

And he's definitely gonna see some of them in person at the Olympics too

 

[mastermind]

He’s right

And he will get the attention he wants.

Somebody good at marketing can turn it to a commercial.. I see the vi$ion

 

[Illuminatos]

Doesn’t this cornball realize that all the best players in the world play in the NBA?

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

I think we should hear him out because I bet there are some ppl on this very coli that would say some goofy shyt like "Latvia would give the 96 Bulls a lot of trouble"

'its not like the old days, all these countries have nba players now "

"we have 12 nba players and are way more talented top to bottom. "

"

Devil's advocate:

It's pretty much accepted by everyone that the premier league is by far the best soccer league.

Yet they still play teams from other leagues In tournaments and friendlies.

Is this just a basketball thing?

Or an American thing?

A large chunk of recent MVP's come from these leagues right? ( And Luka hasn't even won HIS yet)

It’s not devil’s advocate, it’s precisely the point. The best players in the world play in Europe, and they call the winner of their tournament European champions, not World Champions.

He’s gotta be trolling

They might as well, though. The European Champ has won eighty percent of the Club World Cup titles and hasn't lost one in nine years, and that's a tournament with high variance since it's single-elimination.

And if Real Madrid or Man City played in a league with the MLS, Brazilian, Argentinian, etc. champs from the Americas, Asia, and Africa, they'd walk that competition every year.

It's silly to compare the NBA to European football because the PL, La Liga, and Bundesliga are far closer in competitiveness than the NBA is to EuroBasket, the ABL, etc.

No non-NBA team is beating the Nuggets in a seven-game series, which takes out the high variance of a single game elimination format. It's obvious that the best NBA team is the best basketball team in the world. Not so much with the best La Liga team.

I miss classic interviews in sports. This was dope.

 

[H.J.Duck]

Lyles was right though

Can't call it National Basketball Association and be World Champions

And while we're on the subject, the US are not even the reigning world champions in basketball, Spain is

 

[FAH1223]

Count how many times you heard 'world champions' here
