The irony of non NBA Champions being mad at his comments

Well come up with a tournament to determine the champions of the world by playing against teams in the rest of the world, not just teams primarily in your country.

No I don’t. But that’s the only way you should be able to call yourselves the champions of the world if you compete against other teams in the world. Btw, they do have something similar to that in soccer.

This shyt is AMAZING to watch in real time, lol.. This is masterclass in increasing engagement.Lyles is right, I love that NBA players and fans are triggered over this
NBC yesterday put up a graphic on last day of championship of most followed track athletes, Sha carri was at like 2.7 mili, Noah Lyles wasnt even on the graphic.. It made me go look at his IG and he was at low 400k somewhere. Right now he is at 477k and growing.. It didnt make sense for one of their top athletes and basically face of sport at moment to not be more visible. This is good overall. Hopefully they can get some commercials or something out of it and make it a big deal, have him courtside on christmas game or something..
What?? There is a FIBA Club World Cup? Let me know about this new competition.

If you win the NBA title you proved you were the best team in the world
Like I said if y’all want to see them beat up on foreign squads just to prove a point then that’s fine
No what it shows objectively is that you were/are the best team in USA. Anything else is pure speculation

It happened before, the McDonalds Tournament. Obviously was treated as what it was, an offseason tournament with no real reward. Unfortunately it was scrapped before the big influx of international players. Would be interesting to see how something similar would work nowadays.
Ironically in this case the NBA Champ would already be led by two international players in Jokic and Murray.

I agree - this era is so PC and athletes have teams that control their narratives that you don’t even get great sound bites like this anymore.

Kinda case in point being the NBA is home to the best basketball players in the world
It's very simple
The whole point of sports competition is to compete for titles and therefore prove your superiority and earn your title as the best
The only way for nba champions to claim world champion title credibly is to compete in an international tournament and win it
There's no two ways about it
Now the USA men's basketball team can lay such claim as they are the reigning olympic (international tournament) gold medalist, denver nuggets on the otherhand are nothing more than domestic/nba champs

True, but that's not the point of what he's saying. And also we've seen how some of the best players in the NBA don't necessarily see their game translate well on the world stage, and how others see their production increase on the contrary. For an obvious reason : the game is played and refereed differently.
