Never heard or seen Manchester City claim themselves as World Champions…. This is a true and real American moment.
I'd say it's a moment for the rest of the world to enjoy a good round of America bashing. Here in the US, we aren't literally thinking of the world when we see sports titles bestowed with the words world champion, which we already know is not correct. It's just hyperbole that has stuck somehow.
Perfect argument. Players' reaction to a TRUE statement is completely ridiculous
They gotta wait for the 2025 Club World Cup for that title. I want to see a basketball equivalent to the Club World Cup, the best teams in the NBA, Euroleague, Australian NBL, Chinese CBA, Filipino PBA, etc. all face off to crown the true club basketball world champions. Yeah, it would probably be NBA teams winning it every time, but I’d watch it for the odd upset in the knockouts here or there.
Being the best team in the world means you are a world champion
The fact is that all the best players in the world are already playing in the NBA, so it's already a melting pot of the World's Best. So yes, the team that wins the NBA Championship, is the best team in the World. The Premier League comparison is bad because their are clear examples from the fact that the Ballon D'or is always won outside of the Premier League going to show that there are superior talent playing outside of that league, guys like Mbappe, Messi, CR7, Neymar, Neuer, Lewandowski etc. This has never been the case outside of the NBA, the top talent ALL AROUND THE WORLD has always resided already inside the league.
"He might be right" brother he is, theres no way around it, NBA stands for NATIONAL Basketball Association
brother did not watch the video 💀
I watched the video and Noah is still correct. NBA playoffs is a national tournament, not world.
But it’s technically international, they have a team in Canada, and they used to have another one. If the NBA sees a country relevant to expand to, they will.
@@TheGymBroSkii but even tho it's technically international, it's still technically not intercontinental which means you can't call it a world championship which means you can't call the team who wins it World Champions
@@TheGymBroSkii you've got to understand Premier League has team from Wales, yet they are only called the best soccer league in the world not world champion. To be called a World Champion as a club/team and not nationality, the winner of NBA Season or Playoff has to compete in a tournament with the best team from Spanish league, Turkish League, French, Russian league, German, Italy, Adriatic, Greek, Australia, and so on and the winner will be crowned Club World Champion/ World Champion Team.
76% of american players with 24% international players and this is a world cup? Lol
The NBA is the highest level of competition for basketball. The reason there are fewer international players is because they aren’t good enough (hence why the extremely successful European players come to the NBA). The reason very few people dispute the NBA calling its champion the “world champion” is because no other league’s champion would beat them. This debate is sort of like saying the Champions League shouldn’t be considered a European title because they don’t let the lower division champions compete - while true, letting them compete wouldn’t change the results.
@@lukephommachanh9590 yeah nba is the best basketball league in the world. There’s no denial of that. But they still aint the world champion. Just the same way the uefa champions wont call themselves the world champion but uefa champions. Just bcoz the national league is the best national league in the world that doesnt make it the world cup. The best university games isnt national championship
@@khyatimanchoudhury1783 since we are going the technical route here , the nba championship is called "the nba championship" so technically they themselves officially dont label it as a world championship.
@@sofaking3486 but why is it that in stadium in Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics, they wrote on their championship banner as world champions?🤔 Strange.
@@khyatimanchoudhury1783so ur apart of the best basketball league in the world but ur not the best in the world?? howd u get in the league then. name one basketball team more prominent than any single nba basketball team. u cant. bc if the best international team went against the worst nba team they would still lose
As a European, I feel like it's ridiculous that I even have to say this. Nobody argues that the NBA is the best basketball league in the world by far and therefore the NBA champion is probably the best basketball team in the world. However, this doesn't change the fact that it is arrogant for NBA champions to call themselves world champions. The one and only reason for that is that they didn't win against teams from the whole world but instead only against NBA teams. Yes, they would probably beat every single other team but the point is that they didn't even compete against them so they do not have the right to call themselves world champions. To make it clear, let's just use football, the most popular sport in the world, as a comparison. In Football, the best league is the Premier League, not by a margin as big as the NBA in basketball but it's growing every year. You said that the NBA is a very international league, but it is nothing against the Premier League where 66% of players are foreign compared to the NBA's 21%. So do the Premier League champions call themselves world champions? No. To be fair, there is still one competition which is considered better even though it is not a league: The UEFA Champions League, which is an international European Football Cup. So the Champions League winners call themselves world champions, right? No. The winners of the Champions League compete against the winners of the other continental cups in the Club World Cup and the winner is called the world champion. In 9/10 times, the Champions League winner wins the Club World Cup as well but the point is that they competed against the best of the rest of the world so they can rightfully call themselves world champions. If NBA champions had the desire to call themselves world champions, they could easily go to the FIBA and ask for them to create a basketball world cup. But they have no right to do something like that after winning the NBA. The same goes for the NFL and of course the MLB. I find it really hard to believe that so many American NBA players made fun of Noah after his interview because the things he said were absolutely right. It's not that difficult to understand, you can call yourself a world champion if you beat the best teams all over the world, what is there to argue about that? It is not a coincidence that no foreign NBA player commented on this. It's nothing more than common sense to understand that Noah's statement is absolutely true. This wouldn't have even been a debate in Europe. Americans often don't seem to understand that there is more in the world than the US and they are not the center of the world...
Cook
I hope people take the time to read this because you are 100% correct and you really took the time to explain it in a way even a 5 year old would understand.
fax. being the best team in the world doesn't make you world champions. What makes a team world champs is winning a competition including the world.
W take
Who cares if your arrogant when in reality you truly are better then everyone else. If the Denver Nuggets were to play the best teams of every country they would win every single one, because the NBA is the pinecal of basketball. Is Noah Lyles arrogant because he's saying he's the fastest man alive even though he hasn't raced every single person in the world? No, he's not arrogant in saying that and he doesn't have to race every single person in the world to prove he's the best in the world. It's the same for the NBA champions, there's no way any other team beat's the Denver Nugget's, and if American NBA player's truly cared about the olympics as much as they did about the NBA championship, they would never lose a gold medal either because even though the best player in the leauge right now is European, there is a larger amount of American Basketball players that are better then the world. So I really don't give a shit if other countries are pressed about it and I don't think it's arrogant of NBA teams to name themselves the best when it's a clear fact that they are, just as Noah Lyles is clearly the fastest man alive.
The Champion's League in Football is the equivalent of the NBA: the best teams in Europe are playing, and the winner is arguably the best team in the world because no other team in the world would be able to beat them. Yet, they would never call themselves the "World Champions". This is such an American ego thing to do, really.
since 2007 only once the CL winner lost in the Club Worldcup against a Brazilian team. But yes you have to play that kind of tournament to earn that title and not just assume it.
Imagine the Manchester City saying yes that moment when we beat Inter Milan in 2023 at the champions league was when we knew we were “World Champions”.
Thats not at all what its like, are 90% of the best players in that league? If u want to actually make a name for yourself and money its obvious. If u wanna call urself a world champ then beat our Olympic team which is made of role players. Oh wait u cant
@@zackeryblackmer8491 yes, the best players in the world are consistently in the uefa champions league. and those who are not are the ones who couldn't even qualify to the CL. also, lithuania just smoked the usa team
many words without knowledge, the best players are playing in europe in terms of football, the Club WC is normally won by the CL Winner
, since 2007 one brazilian team has won it. In Sports you dont just assume titles, you have to earn them. But its nothing new that americans think they are the entire world.@@zackeryblackmer8491
Noah Lyles is a real world champion. Of course he feels disrespected by people calling themselves world champions without having won a world championship.
What are you even talking about. The NBA is the PREMIERE league in the world. It is what MADE the game a world-wide sport. How many Europeans and ppl from every other country comes HERE to play in the league?????? IF you win the NBA title you ARE the basketball world champ. END of argument.

They are Americans... Second most NBA players growing up didn't really focus on education and gaining wisdom they primarily focused on basketball so outside of basketball most of them aren't really the sharpest tool in the shed.

IMO this is clearly is a US thing. For instance, the winner of the soccer Champions League (a tournament for the winners of each EU country league) doesn’t even dare to call themselves World Champions. And it would be absurd for them to do so.
Why would it be absurd? They should call themselves world champions, like you didn’t even give a reason. All you said was “winners of champions league don’t do it so no one should do it 🤓”

In soccer they don't just have a World Cup but they also have a Club World Cup where the best teams of every continent plays a small tournament to prove who is the best in the world . The European team is always the favorite team because they are the best but that doesn't mean they can just ignore inferior competition from other continents and even prior to that they have to win against other countries in Europe to see whos best in that continent. The NBA are already trying to appeal to soccer fans with their new in season tournament format. I would rather see that against international teams but skipped to the elimination round
And the European club doesn't even always win it.

that’s the ‘Murica ego in a nutshell, you’ll notice not even the winner of the Champions League, the most prestigious club tournament in football worldwide, is called “world champion”, they’re the european champions, because it’s a European tournament, the only tournament that can grant you the “world champion” title as a club is the FIFA clubs’ World Cup, where the winners of each major competitions face each other.
If the NBA wants to give their teams a chance to call themselves world champions, they should work with other major international leagues to form a sort of club world cup. Now that would be interesting, international basketball has grown massively to the point where the majority of the top 10 best players in the NBA are foreigners.

Also the point about the league having more and more non-American players and that they make up a lot of the best players in the league including the last five mvp winners doesn't really help the argument because it just shows that the talent outside of America is steadily growing and I would say catching up as well.

Americans mix up the titles of „best team“ with „world champs“. This is two different teams. The letter requires you to win a tournament that offers the world championship as the price.
Btw: arguing US is world champs because they beat the latest olympics is the dumbest thing I heard in a while (see comments to your post)
Think it’s more foolish to act as if the Olympics aren’t where you go to prove you are the best in the world aka world champions America is playing the game and now people are scared or what gonna say they aren’t the best or earned the Gold 😂 or the fact is if Germany is the best they should win gold ...right .......🗿 in Paris vs USA playing serious lastly be it reigning Gold medalist or the day they win it stays the same as usual (dumbest shit I heard latest Gold winner isn’t the best after proving it 😅)
You could say that the NBA is the best league in the world talent wise, but until you beat other countries in a tournament with your "National team" (not an NBA team) then you cannot be called "World" champions. That is actually pretty straight forward to grasp and so Lyles was 100% correct. Germany, for example can call themselves world champions for the next 4 years till the next FIBA world cup

This argument can be solved pretty easily by looking at the definition of 'world champions'. A world champion is someone or a team that has won a international competition that is open to the whole world. So the nba champions are not world champions because nba teams dont compete with teams outside of NA. Nobody is arguing that the nba champion is the best team in the world but they are by definition not allowed to call themselfs world champions.
Not just about competing globally but representing your nation! As the nba is a mix of many international players how can they be the best nation if they are from different countries, you cannot compare a club team with a national team, clubs are businesses that invest millions in order to win trophies, national teams is just about the raw talent that comes from within the country. So when people try to compare clubs with national teams are just wrong
Not allowed, ok mother

and govern the sport. anywhere else in the world and in every other sport (except for american football and ice hockey), top athletes are actually honored to represent their country, even if its a lower quality competition or game. And just like in basketball athletes could also refuse to represent, for various reasons, but this rarely happens (mostly when you get too old), but the reason most of these star players dot represent, is because these three (club based) sports leagues implemented a culture of denying/refusing/trying to keep them off the national teams because not caring about anybody else but themselves.

@@jasjfl How can you be champion if you didn't play the games? There's a difference between being "the best team in the world", which the NBA champions are, and being "world champions". Team USA are world champions, not Denver. You don't need to beat every team in the world, but you need to win a tournament or competition where the best teams from everywhere in the world had an opportunity to participate. For example, soccer has the club world cup where the winners of the continental competitions face off. Every team in the world in the highest division can theoretically qualify for that tournament, so the winner is the world champion.
@@jasjfl Why are you overcomplicating this. The NBA is an American League. Just like there's a Spanish league and a Greek league.

If Denver played a team with all the rest of the best players in the world they would surely lose. This is all semantics. Everyone knows Denver is the best club team in the world easily.
