- Following his win in the 200m - part of his 3-for-3 performance at the world athletics championships in Budapest - US sprinter Noah Lyles took a swipe at the NBA for calling the season winners world champions.

'I watch the NBA Finals and they have "world champion" on their head. World champion of what? The United States?” Lyles said.
'Don't get me wrong. I love the US - at times - but that ain't the world,' the 26-year-old added. Lyles elaborated to say that track is a true international sport, adding 'we have almost every country out here fighting, thriving, putting on their flag'. His playful comments drew a reaction from a number of NBA players, with Kevin Durant commenting on Instagram: 'Somebody help this brother'.

From an Aussie, HE WALKED THE WALK!!!!!!!!
"Don't get me wrong...I love the US...AT TIMES." FR FR. 🤣 his delivery of "AT TIMES" killed me.
"AT TIMES" yet he took the TIME to represent his country when so many others outright refused. Makes you wonder how those others love their homeland.
WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!! L FRANCE STAY MAD!!!!!!
Who's back here after he just won the Men's 100M Olympic Gold Medal.
NBA players just won gold 💛💛💛
🙌
And silver. And bronze. Euro basket players are trying to get division two scholarships
He just made a statement and he is right
@@JohanAlvarenga-kj8ur So which league is which's farm team? Is the NBA the developmental league for the other leagues or is it the other way around? Last time I checked, developmental leagues don't claim "national championships".
Still 100% pure comedy gold and straight up facts🤣🤣🤣 USA lost to Lithuania, Germany and your's truly Canada, world champion of USA indeed.
Congrats, you beat the usas 4th string 💀
There’s a reason that nba players care way more about the nba finals, because that’s where the real comp is. The United States will obliterate every other country if they put their best players together, they’ve done it twice already 😂
Is a 3rd time needed? It’s getting ridiculous. Be grateful the United States doesn’t try hard a minor award like that 😂
so? argument wasnt usa is world champs its that the denver nuggets are. The fact is for a "world championship" in basketball it requires breaking up the already established best team in the world in order to give lesser competition a chance. According to the logic of the people that disagree, dennis schroder is the most valuable player in the world, when he's literally a meme and backup on a championship level team at the nba level.
@@thetf8142I don't watch basketball, but I want to know one thing.. why would the usa not send their best players especially in a world cup.. Even though earning is more in nba, you are not representing an entire nation.. Is that all you guys care about your country or something???

He only loves the US “at times”???
Most Americans are too arrogant. Glad some like this guy are humble and intelligent.
Team USA bout to make this come full circle
Aged like milk. World champions, baby! Also, NBA is filled with people from other nationalities. If you don't make it there, you're probably not in the top echelon. 1/3rd of the Serbian team is in the NBA.
Either way, go USA!!
nah, Germany is still world champion. USA just got Olympic gold
@@MrRafinha50 Lol okay buddy, cope harder. If they were better, they would have just won.
Also, the world championship team had only Anthony Edwards as a notable player. No Lebron, no Curry, etc.

He's still correct tho, nba champions are not world champions
I'd still be a world champion on my own than be part of a stacked team
When the NBA players decided to play Germany didn't even medal.

Its refreshing to see a non-delusional american for once.

I think when you compete in ATHLETICS that claim doesn’t resonate with you even though the statement itself is LIKELY true.
Just like the winner of the Champions League is the best football team in the world.
It's boring to hear from a non American who childishly misrepresents and entire country.
Wrong, thats the FIFA Club World Cup@@QueViktor
@@QueViktor, They don't claim it, there is a club world cup for that, don't make things up. Only NBA fans claim it like that, European football fans are mature, mainly because some of their leagues are older than most of the states in USA

It's basic logic: NBA champions are NOT World Champions
nba can change its name to wnba then its world champion
What are yall so mad about, the united states are still world champions of basketball, the nba is the top basketball league, even though the u.s just lost fiba, its cause they didnt send their best players like everyone else, cause they didnt wanna bully other countries like they usually do.
@@GSOGKAmeans anything. You can’t just say that USA didn’t sent the best players, this is a world competition, if you don’t send the best players it’s your problem, not a problem for others. Too easy to say: “yeah you won cause we didn’t care about winning”, the sport itself won’t exist anymore with this way to think.

If U.S says World Champions, it indeed means, we don't need to exaggerat bcs we are the best, haters keep criticizing, we will keep winning.
11 days later, he is more right than ever
He wasn't talking about the USA men's team. He was talking about the NBA champs being falsely called the world champs. 2 different subjects
@@action_jackson30he's still right because the US got molly whopped
@@action_jackson30these were two topics yes but noah was still right
@@AJ-wz1dc Yes technically he is right. I'm just saying the USA MEN'S team loss has nothing to do with his statement.
@@action_jackson30yes it has nothing to do with USA loosing but it made the statement way more authentic
He has a mega point. He just said out loud what many have been whispering a long time ago
Agree....
He’s right, but nobody whispers if there was a Slavic or France team in the NBA they’d win lol. NBA is full of international players playing for random cities they mostly don’t care about. Also the NBA has about 90% of the best basketball players on earth. It’s comparing apples to oranges.
Who’s been whispering, I have been screaming it for decades….
I meeeeeean doesn’t the NBA have a team that plays other countries with Basketball teams every 4 years or so….oh wait in the Olympics? There are a set of players that travel across seas to play other players within other countries to win the Olympic basketball team……I mean if he would have said football then that would have been a valid point…..
No he's just completely wrong! And you can tell that he doesn't really follow the NBA to be making bold statements like this publicly. The NBA doesn't just have USA players. Where's Jokic from? Luka? Giannis? Etc etc etc. The NBA has the best players from all over the world. And it clearly shows 99.9% of the time during FIBA, the Olympics, etc.
This aged so well
The BEST🎉
How? He’s still wrong. The NBA has players from all over the world and is the top league. Other countries leagues are feeder leagues. Whoever wins the NBA finals (whether it is made up of Americans, Canadians, French, whoever) is the world champion of professional basketball. Whoever wins the Olympics is the world champion of international basketball (representing a specific country). It’s not like Americans are saying the USA the world champions. Whoever wins the league is

The other is not the same. You could make the argument that that they are miss of the known universe.
Just be glad it’s not miss multiverse.
Give that man another gold medal for the best comment others are unwilling or afraid to say.🏅
This argument is about nothing more than Semantics. Spain is considered the current World Champion in basketball but the Olympics are higher on the totem pole of world competition seeing as how every nation sends their best possible team for that set of global competition. The NBA is the best basketball league in the world comprising of the best basketball players in the world. No other team on the planet is beating the Nuggets in a playoff series, so what difference does it make if they are referred to as NBA or World Champions ???
@@Tr3yification U do realise theres people from other countries playing in the NBA right?
@@Tr3yification It's more than semantics. Noah is dead right. They are national champions with diverse players from around the world. But they are not competing against other countries. Thus, the NBA (National Basketball Association). The USA team is our World League that competes during the Olympics. And although they have dominated over the years. They have also lost on more than a few occasions.
@@TheBlink247 Read the post, I already said it’s the best league in the world with the best players in the world. What other league champion is beating an NBA Champion in a 7 game series ???
@@RaphaelAshanti It’s completely about semantics because the NBA Champion is generally regarded as the best team in the world. During the 90’s there used to be an International tournament called the McDonald’s Championship that used to invite an NBA team to play against championship clubs from Europe, South America, & the NBL* (Oceania region). It ran for 9 years with the NBA representative winning all nine years. So again, what difference does it make referring to the NBA champ as the World champ ??? No other team in the world will beat the NBA champ in a series.
Now he is Olympic champion, the REAL world champion
I didn't see him break the WORLD record.
Does every NBA champions breaks the record of most games wins the season they win the title ? No. Are they still NBA champions of that year ? Yes. Did you use your brain at its best capabilities while writing the above. Definitely not. Can you use it better after reading my comment. Probably, yes. It's up to you.@@thebikewatcher9819

He's simply right. Everything in America is world something, but they keep forgetting that there is a real world outside.
Still, the NBA is the best league in the world. No European team can beat the Nuggets
@user-xn7ms6tx5c so they are World Champions because they are the best team in the world. Winning MVP in NBA makes you the best player in the world. Nobody is talking about the MVP in Europe.
@@dimitris4661 maybe they cant beat Nuggets but there is many Europan teams what can beat half of NBA team right now so...

You know what’s more worrying? The nba players were insulting him for saying this😂 they all believe the world champion tag they put on themselves. What a bunch of entitled fools😂
But the one thing they couldn't do is explain what they are world champions. National champions yes, world champions, stop making us laugh 😂😂😂
Name a non-NBA team that would beat an NBA team.
@@helgey7212 that still doesn’t validate calling yourself world champions of a sport that you gave yourself as a title. It’s the same thing in football (soccer in america) the champions of UEFA Champions league are champions of Europe but they don’t go around calling themselves the champions of the world when they probably just might be the best team in the world.
The US national team. Or the German team for that matter 😂 (you know, like teams that actually play for world championships) @@helgey7212
@@ishwarbepin9183y’know. I agreed with the whole best teams in the world are in the NBA, therefore worlds champs would be NBA champs. But, that made more sense. It’s not a logical thing. It’s a respect thing. Yeah the NBA teams have by far the best talent. But it’s rude to discount other teams and leagues as if it is for they are better.
He is just pointing out what the rest of the world knows. The NBA may be the best basketball league and have the best players in the world, but their contests are between teams in North America, not between teams representing countries around the world. It’s just a simple fact. Of course no other basketball team outside of the US can beat the Nuggets, but that is not the point. The title World Champion is not about being the world’s best, but a title conferred to a team representing one country beating another country’s team. Any American that disagrees is ignorant.
But wouldn’t that be a waste of time?

This only bothers people that think america is the whole world. Just because you draft some players from other countries doesn’t make you the whole world.
Technically he is semantically correct but Olympic basketball specifically isn’t the highest level of play in the sport.

Unlike Other sports like Track, Soccer etc... There aren't multiple leagues and multiple competitions where the best players play... There's only one basketball league where the best players from across the entire planet play... And that's the NBA...

He's absolutely right. Winning the best league does not mean world champions.
It does when that league is the only league in the entire sport across the world that features the best players in the world... It's not like soccer and track where you have multiple leagues and competitions where the best in that sport compete against each other... Basketball doesn't have that... FIBA world cup for basketball features mostly players that can't make the NBA... Same for Olympics and any other basketball league... These are second tier and lower players... So yeah in soccer or track winning the best league doesn't make you a world champion because the best players play in multiple leagues and competitions... But in basketball... The NBA is the only competition where you will find the best players in the world playing basketball... y'all don't understand because your entire sports knowledge is based off of just one sport...

I do believe that a world champion can be crowned through different countries competing. I also believe that you can do the same by building teams full of the best players in the world. Two different route to find the best in the world
@@RD-wg9em Look, call it whatever you want. Anyone on the planet who plays basketball knows where the best players, and the best competition in the world is. Futbol is a sport that is traditionally global. The world champion distinction is different.
He just won the Olympics that made his comment even more solid! Congratulations!
And lost the 200m
So did the USA basketball team.
this was at the world championships, he already a world champ
@@waynechoi5027 and then cried about Covid after he got his weak goofy was dusted he’s a whole lame
@@CtFletcher-eg5zj losing by 2 meters isnt dusted and its alr because hes still the fastest man in the world and had dominated the 200 for like 3 years
I like how this phrase autocompleted in the search bar easily.
was thinking the same lol
Who's here after the USA lost to Germany in the semi-finals?
Finally a American that isnt ignorant or arrogant
He’s definitely arrogant
@@Shinobi-sw3fb He is a winner
He's wrong
Explain how😂@@wilcross50
This is a super ignorant and arrogant thing to say.
This kind of foolish debate only could happen in USA. Everybody else knows that guy is rigth.
Use your brain for a change
@@Okthen-jc2yi It's not a foolish debate. The best basketball players in the WORLD strive to be in the NBA. Very simple. Same goes for the NFL
It doesn't matter lol if you didn't win world champion then you're not world champion, there is no debate 😂 @@ludachad05

Hahaha. I think you are missing the point my friend. Most of the world doesn't give two f**** about nba and nfl. However, over 90% of the world follows soccer.
@@gavinloveless7873yeah drag out that tired argument again. I still have yet to hear an argument on why soccer is better than football other than “more people watch it”
Who's here after GERMANY beats USA? NOAH MUST BE SMILING RN. 😅
Why? He wasn't talking about team USA?
And now he is an ACTUAL World Champion. You showed the world, Noah.
Olympic champion
So is the US team. Bron still has more medals than him
@@marknewbold2583 r u slow?
@@marknewbold2583
Olympic is challenging the world 🌎 is your brain 🧠 slow 😂
He was already a world champion several times over when he said this.
Also there’s a difference between Olympic champion and world champion
He’s facing backlash from this? Is this not the truth? Notice how he specifically said the NBA Finals and not Team USA
No, it's a ridiculous take. The NBA champs can beat any national team in the world, including team USA.
@@solido888 Nothing in sports is 100% so don't call yourself a world champ unless you've actually proven it.
@@kryndude I agree. Whoever wins the FIBA tournament should have to beat the Denver Nuggets to call themselves world champs.
@@solido888 Which country does the Denver Nuggets represent?

FACTS...FACTS...FACTS...💯👏👌Someone on the world stage should have said this a long time ago. Any NBA player that gets upset with what he said is delusional.
Facts ?? Show me where the global brand, the NBA uses "world" in reference to their championship. Their championship series are called The NBA Finals. Winners are called The NBA Finals Champions. Noah stated he see "world champions" on their head, Google images of NBA Championship,official hats the winners wear on the floor does not have the word "world". So Noah is not speaking facts at all. What he was doing was throwing darts at a successful league,with global popularity, in an effort to further illuminate his achievements. In a rush to do so,he didn't bother to be factually correct
🤡
@@nickatnite16 facts when the nuggets won they were called nba champions not world champions he is spot on these nba players are delusional to think he is wrong finally a guy who speaks the truth.
@@nickatnite16plenty of times. In the 80's to the 90's, the world champion was used so often by the media. Even the nba used it in their prints.
@@zayankanani9573Hold on wait a minute the Nuggets did sing the Freddie Mercury song"Champions" n if i remember i think there are lyrics in the song that says"of the World."but still,I agree. ol boy is being petty.
NBA = National Basketball Association, That is national, not a World Basketball Association, Noah was right
Soon it will be international
NBA had the best basketball playerS in the WORLD
Its just a title. He got so worked over a title.
No one fcks with Miss Universe just because Aliens dont join in.

@@minhtrinh3646 I hope this is sarcasm 😂
Hilarious because there no facts here………. You can easily google the nba champs and CLEARLY see everything says NBA champs or national champs. This guy is just a classic “American is bad so now the rest of the world will like me”.
Bravo Noah 👍👍
He just won the 100m final and did make a Kamehameha
He is a men of culture
He is not men.
World champion of Bronze 😂😂😂
Look at how they lost to Lithuania and Germany 😂
And Canada
Patrice O’Neal had a joke about this on the arrogance of Americans:
“We call ourselves world champions and we don’t play anyone else.”
The funny thing is that this is with their most popular sports... Baseball, American Football, basketball... And sports that globally popular and full of competition they make fun of
USA Basketball just took a big L against Lithuania. So these words are very true. Global basketball has surpassed the NBA.
And now, against Germany
Have you forgotten that almost all teams from all over the world have been led by NBA players! That nba player leading his country is a representative of the nba. NBA IS A PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE DIFFERENT FROM FIBA AND THE OLYMPICS.
@@jolli4116 lots of FOREIGN NBA players
@@TPWM yes, that makes the nba an international league. 140 foreign players are currently playing in the nba right now.
USA also stood on business winning gold with a roster filled with NBA players.
So yes Noah Lyles and all you online Incels, the winners of the NBA Finals deserve to call themselves World Champions.
They fight amongst some of the best players in the World on a daily basis to get that trophy.
The dude speaking the truth that many people always ignored 😂
Part of maturing is accepting facts that one doesn’t like.
And now he IS a champion. An Olympic champion.
@@diogogarcia2694He was world champion before this interview.
As are all great NBA players
He was a world champion even before being an olympic champion. And the olympic championship means MORE than the world championship and it is also an international "world" contest. The US olympic team are real G's tho.
@@williamtaittinger4529 but US basketball team won 5x gold in a row hahahah
@@Ane-j7c well now they are undoubtedly "world" champions
USA JUST WON THE GOLD MEDAL IN MENS BASKETBALL 🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
They should change it to NBA Champions .... been saying this for over 30 years
Exactly
That’s what it’s always been called.
@@jrwilliams1219 No its been called NBA world champions...
@@1love4music4love1 that’s not an official title anywhere all official nba merch says “nba champions”. Besides, If NBA players wanna call themselves world champions it shouldn’t bother anyone since the best players in the world all come to play in that league, it’s not that big of a deal. They’re not gonna stop doing it just to make non Americans feel better.
@@jrwilliams1219 Just because the best individual players are in the NBA does not mean for instance that Nuggets would beat another TEAM in the world...
USA just lost to the small country lithuania...
So it does not "bother" me its just cringe to call yourself a world champion when you not competed against the best TEAMS of the world..
LAUGH NOW NBA FANS 😂😂
Who’s here after he won Olympic gold?
WORLD CHAMPIONS BIG MOUTH! BRONZE BOY
NBA do it again.. Boston celtics world champions.. of what? USA? LOL
Nice joke Celtic 😂😂
So is Usyk not a World Champion either? Ali was never a World Champion? I think nerds should just stay out of sports talk.
@@OTR720 los boxeadores son campeones del mundo, nadie dijo que ellos no lo sean. Ellos participan en federaciones o asociaciónes internacionales, la NBA (asociación NACIONAL de basquetbol) solo abarca estados unidos y nada más.

@@OTR720 Whatttttt? He said nothing about athletes that compete with people from other countries.
guys i am from brasil and i really love nba and u guys culture but makes sense, u have to win a world champion to be a world champion, even you guys beeing much much better than the rest togheter, still an american title
This guy's speech is become legendary after the us beaten by the germans last night. And those words are taking seriously by Every American NBA players for ages!
After they already got beaten by Lithuania. You could say one loss was a fluke, but two?
@@Fankas2000they were beaten thrice, Lithuania, Germany and Canada
Nothing new there, is not the first time. Do you think the NBA and MLB cares about what this fast mouth said. Their business is money, money, money. Money that Lyle wil never make running for five or six years.
Champion of what? You guys keep forgetting that the Barcelona team was a one sided show. Players from other countries were more interested in taking pictures with the US players. That will never happen again.
@@LuisFSilva-gm9ms That's the reason why NBA suck. Too focused on generating money that killed the competitive spirit of players. Some NBA players just take the bag and then turn their performances to shit. Admit it, NBA is soft nowadays because of diva players and excessive flopping plus referee match fixing.
....world champions of whaAT?.....the world craig...the world 🥇
If nba is world champions than Germany are galaxy champions
… Germany didn’t play the best players in the US though? The best players in the NBA have not cared about the Olympics in ages. Now when Steph, KD, D Book, Jrue, Tatum, Brown, etc are all there this time around I want this SAME energy
How quickly we forget that a lot of those German players have spent years trying to make an NBA roster unsuccessfully
@@andreandrews6237 Having grown up in Mexico that is the excuse we always give when we are sore losers in Futbol as well. There is no denying that there is a lot more management and tactical scheduling of players when you play more tournaments. Players are not made of unlimited stamina. Not sending your best players (to the extent the rules allow) and then using that as an excuse is just lazy.
@@andreandrews6237Not Germany's fault. It's the US's fault. 😂

That was cringe asf. Made that part of his legacy smh
Lyles is correct. Why are people mad?
Because people are ignorant 😂
Because they are Americans and never studied world geography.
The NBA is popular worldwide because of the money, and because it occurs in the birthplace of basketball itself.
Still doesn't make the NBA a "world championship"
It's one of those Goku vs Superman type deals, where people invest great energy in arguing a fantasy. There is no real argument. It's obvious the champions of the USA cannot be called the world champions. That is plainly obvious. Ppl love fantasies though.
He is right, he's just entirely too emotional about it. Those players have done nothing to take food off his table.
GOLD MEDALIST!!!!
Who’s here after he won Gold? He said this and backed up his talk, he is world champion😂
The Americans hating him for this was the reason why I wanted him to win gold today
Maybe he should stick to talking about what he knows....
@@topmech71 it's common knowledge that winning a competition with the word 'National' in its name does not qualify as a World champion, so yeah he does know what he's talking about
