Let me say it again in a different way. Yes they are the best players in the world, BUT, there is a technicality. The NBA playoffs is NOT officially designated as a world championship. You have to participate in a official world championship to be crowned world champ.
So when they have the Olympics every 4 years and include every single country in the world in the USA wins that tournament does that make them the world champions or just the best team in the world think before you answer that
Yes, that is kind of true. But the fact that the best players from across the world come to the nba makes it the highest level of competition. Therefore, the team that wins the nba title, is the best team in the world.

Noah is absolutely right…typical of the NBA players, they are too far removed from reality…they are paid too much money that’s why their vision is clouded. Noah said nothing wrong!
The player that just won mvp is from Cameroon, the player that just carried his team to their first win in franchise history was from Serbia, 2 years ago Giannis from greece led Milwaukee to their first since Kareem. The league attracts the best talent WORLD WIDE. Just because 29/30 teams are in USA. Doesn’t mean all the players are. And that’s what makes it the best in the world.
I’m American but I understand both sides, no we aren’t an international league but we sure as hell have the best talent in the world by far. I think putting “NBA champions” on the hat instead would be fair though tbh.
@@TheGamerNinjazXyou just made the point that’s why nba is world champion players from all over world wants to go to nba to compete with the best. Luka, Giannas etc that’s exactly why world champ. Every 4 years US dominate the Olympics . Think before you speak

It's NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION. Not International. Not World League. I can't stand such a large amount of people being dumb for no reason. I blame the schools
NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION! Its a domestic title. It doesn't matter who comes to the USA to play, IT'S NOT A WORLD TITLE. I don't understand how people don't understand this.
A lot of people making comments on basketball who know nothing about the sport. The NBA may only take place in the USA, but I can assure you our best team would blow any international team out.
What's outrageous is why people are offended, he just stated a fact! Unless you cant make a difference between national and international...maybe somebody needs to correct the English language 😂, national and world are not the same
I think Noah has a point. Being called a "world champion" means you COMPETED against DIFFERENT NATION with the PLAYERS from EACH OF THEIR OWN COUNTRIES. No disrespect to the NBA, but a team in the NBA is composed of the best players from DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, not FROM THE SAME COUNTRY. Yes, the NBA has the best players in the world,but that doesn't mean that each of the players in the NBA are competing for their country in the NBA, instead they are competing for their own franchise to win. REMEMBER it is called "NBA" NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION. Not a World Basketball Association. It means it is NATIONAL.. AGAIN IT IS CALLED NATIONAL.
I mean he Is technically right. Even though the NBA is the most competitive basketball League in the world, its not the same thing as international sports. Even though the NBA has a large number of athletes from other countries, it doesn't mean you are competing to become the world champions. What is generally considered a "world championship title" is one where a single country competes against a bunch of other countries in order to claim the title of world champions. Saying an NBA title is the same as a world championship title is basically like saying the premier League is equivalent to the world cup in football. So idk why people are loosing their minds over this.
For causal: The NBA consists 400 of the best basketball players in the world so if you win a championship against these teams, you are the best team in the world and any NBA team would easily beat every non-nba team there is
Noah is right. For example, in Football or Soccer. Barcelona won a championship and named Laliga Champions they never call themselves as "World Champions". But I'm telling you, no USA football/soccer team can beat Barcelona.
Don’t you have to win a World Cup to be the world Champion? If you win the NATIONAL Basket Association (NBA) championship, you are the champion of a National tournament. There is not discussion!
Weak response from NBA players. Oversensitive babies, who miss games regularly. The NBA has too many games, and it’s extremely boring. Track and Field is exciting, and has amazing titles like “worlds fastest man, and woman”
Just like nba worlds best team USA who wins gold every 4 years unlike track & field oh yeah and players from around the world wants to play in NBA to compete dumbass
Noah is right…only on technicality. But in practicality he lacks context because the NBA is the “ National Basketball Association”. But it doesn’t have players only from one country. Literally 4 of the top 5 players are international. And if they were to play for their home country they would be the best players undoubtedly. Also the crazy thing about the title “World Champion” is that it doesn’t matter about the competition, only the representation. Switch the flags of the people that raced in the track events with state flags and Noah would be the world champion of nothing. The competition staid the same, but the “REPRESENTATION” changed. Just food for thought🤔
for everyone saying he’s right, their hats said nba champions tho so he is wrong, and the best international players like jokic and gianni’s don’t even play in international games, they only play in the nba, it’s more competitive and they are better, fibs basketball is just for entertainment, the usa doesn’t have a top 15 player on their team and they still smoke everyone
Its different on international level. The coordination of players may not always be best no matter how good they are in they're individual teams , thats why there are international coaches too.😂 Stars don't always good when they play together
There are champions in European football leagues (“soccer for Americans”), the champions league and so on. They are easily the best competition with the best players from around the world. None of them will have audacity to call themselves “world” after winning any of them. Only in US they will do the wrong thing and then vehemently refuse to acknowledge that they are wrong. And on top of that they will argue that they are right😂
Yeah I think NBA is more international, a better example would be NFL. Hardly any international players or players playing in other countries and they don’t play at the Olympics or anything so yeah not world champions really
He spoke truths and they're triggered lolz. Even the NBA calls the NBA champs, "NBA world champions", never just world champions. They know there's a difference.
The boy is right. Pro track and field/Olympics host 200 different nations. (Flags AT the meets) The NBA only ever allowed 40. Think about it. Do we play Pakistan. Iran. Are we scouting them? NO
How are they even mad 😂 he literally just said the truth. You can’t be a world champion from winning a national competition lol that’s not how words work they mean things
Alright guys lets do another example. The uefa champions league. They exactly says thats its a conpetition in europe. There is players all over the world playing in it.
Calling NBA champs world champs is like calling champions league winners world champs however in Europe we aren’t delusional enough to do that even if most of the world’s elite is in there
The winners of UEFA champions league, the league with undoubtedly the best football clubs in the world, call themselves just European champs, not world champions. The argument that "the best players in the world play in the NBA" doesnt add up.
Noah is wrong. The nba has the best players from all over the world. By definition they’re the world champions, because they beat the best of the best, and nobody else can beat them
It’s not the 90‘s anymore! I love the US, but they do NOT get gold every time and the best players currently are internationals. Luka, The Joker, Giannis etc! And players also go to the NBA for the money. Also because it’s still the best league. But not by far.. not every year. Some international teams would smoke some NBA teams..
What’s outrageous about his statement? He’s just stating facts.If you are reporting, just say he made a statement, why add unnecessary adjectives to it?
He said nothing outrageous he spoke facts He wasn’t diminishing anyones talent or accomplishments just stating simple facts a NBA championship is a domestic title end of discussion
The dumbest excuse and take, to defend world champions 😂 the best players in the world play football (soccer) in Europe and they don’t call themselves world champions when they win the domestic leagues or the continental title - uefa champions league. They’re called European champions. 🤦🏻♂️
Can you imagine Usan Bolt not racing in the world championships, because he considers himself and knows he's the best? Being the best domestic league does not give it world champion status, not even if many foreigners play in it. Even the NBA has its own rules. Last year the Suns lost to a team from Australia. There are sports that are dominated by several countries with their leagues being superior to the others and they are never called World Champions, only the American ones do. It's amazing how this happens and it's happened to several American leagues, it's laughing that baseball has a world series. They are so unaware of the rest of the world that they didn't draft Doncic in the first place. My God😂
The fastest man/woman in the world is determined on the track. T & F actually does compete aganist the world so its not hate or shade. Its a fact. There is nothing stopping the NBA from having a true World Championship every few years to legitimize a "world champ", except money 💰 😂😂😂

@@nellydavis7645 why are u tagging me again saying there hats don’t say it, i know i said that too
Who’s gonna beat the Denver Nuggets in a 7 game series? The Shanghai Sharks? 💀💀 Delusional.
It's the worlds best players yes in America, either way you might as well be considered a world champion! Lyles raced the worlds best runners in Budapest Hungary does that just make him the world champion of Budapest Hungary? 🤣🤦🏽♂️ Dumb Ass!
The best players on soccer go to Europe to play. Yet, when they win the champions league they’re not crowned world champions. It’s just ignorant.
Don’t the 2010 champions lose in a game to the 2010 European champions
The fact NBA is the best league in the world, with the best teams doesnt mean that the NBA champion is the world champion
Doesn’t change the fact of two things, the NBA names says NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION, 2nd things is how you give a world trophy in a national tournament. It can be the best players in the nba, but that all all Americans if their here, that’s a fact. He didn’t say anything that’s not true. Fifas World Cup is called that for a reason.
Please defend that guy, his the REAL World Champion of the World, because he beat all the flags for the sake of USA
Noah was just telling that nba is league not whole world of basketball but when he is sprinting on 200 meters final and there is whole world amd he won with new world record. I just mean that noah lyles is smarter than nba
The same nba players dominate fiba and the olympics stop trying to justify this goofball
He’s right but wrong at the same time
No he’s not, he’s just right. the nba is a domestic league, Olympics/World Cups are the only true measure of best in the world
@@hoshkotheboylook at who the USA sends to FIBA every year compared to NBA all stars… the nba has the highest level of basketball competition that’s why the euro league mvp left to be a bench player in the nba.
@gigashat2411not USA. They have lost plenty of times
@@hoshkotheboyso when a team wins anything in the best organization in the world, they aren’t world champions because it’s not Olympics or Fiba?
@@hoshkotheboybut it is the highest caliber of basketball in the world
But when pop said the same thing nobody came down him....
Because they fear pop.
Cause he said it 15 years ago and the league since then has become more international and better than most other leagues(pretty sure they already was but wtv)
@@sageofcausality173no difference between NBA and other league is just smaller for them and it's true that there are more international teams but he won championship with international players and said that and also more international players and difference in leage strength doesn't matter it's called National Basketball Association because it's National not world
@nemajabakic4546 wba and iba don't roll off the tongue like nba lol,also there is a difference between the nba and other leagues,the nba is wayyyy better,it's ppl all across the world to hoop versus each other it's not just Americans most top 20 players are international
@nemajabakic4546 what's the difference from the nba and the Olympics,it's literally just ppl all across the world to hoop vs each other
I blame baseball for this "world" stuff.
Its a dumb marketing ploy.
The sad part is how many non-champions entered the chat to cap....how that work?
Notice that non of the players are attempting to make any logical defense in their comments. National( NBA) means nation. You cannot be a national league and claim world championship. Track athletes compete in international competitions with competitors from other countries across the globe
Jokic and Giannis are my favorite American nba players
@@HELLO.THERE- lol thanks for shutting the idiot up
What is outrageous it’s a truthful statement
What was outrageous about his statement? If you look up the description of the NBA it’s a North American Basketball league. Last time I checked North America is not the world. We all know NBA players would dominate internationally but it’s still a North American League.
They play in the Olympics & dominate every time …. Players from around the world dream is to play in nba that’s why world champs💀
@@BraylonJ Look up the description of the NBA. If it doesn’t say International League, then it’s domestic. The Premier league has far more global players then the NBA and they still don’t call themselves World Champions 💀💀💀.
@@BraylonJ we lost to france, Argentina and Puerto Rico.
And why does PR have a team 🤔
Point is we have lost in international competition and when your annual competition of who is the best team that year includes no international teams, is sounds silly to say to beat the world.
@@iluvdissheet but at the end who won gold? We won bronze only one time In 2004 and that was by injuries and ppl not playing. Make it make sense
These NBA players are more sensitive than modern women 😂
Because he pinched right where it hurt the most. That amarican ignorance.
It’s the top league it’s not a world championship! That’s what the Olympics is for! Where is the debate?! They just didn’t like how dude said it lol
the average nba player is better than most international players
fr i bet joe ingles is better than the best player playing in the german league
remember when brian scalabrine disgraced college players
No lol u trippin
@@hermanarchuleta8341 its true thats why the chances of getting into the nba are so low
This is highly inaccurate.
Noah Lyles spitting 💯 facts.
Ask giannis,Doncic, Jokic ect what’s their take on this because as we can see only Americans player reacted and it shows a lot about the mentality
Reguardless whether he’s right or wrong (I can kinda see both sides on this), EVERYBODY knows that Aaron Gordon is getting his shit ROCKED if he races lyles in a 200m.
Noah kept it real 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Leave the fastest man on earth alone. I love the nba, but they are just hating for no reason
Noah is absolutely right…typical of the NBA players, they are too far removed from reality…they are paid too much money that’s why their vision is clouded. Noah said nothing wrong!
He's right though, so can't really get mad at him. To a lot of people America = the world.
Incorrect. We run basketball. Its that simple. We dont run soccer, that simple.
The player that just won mvp is from Cameroon, the player that just carried his team to their first win in franchise history was from Serbia, 2 years ago Giannis from greece led Milwaukee to their first since Kareem. The league attracts the best talent WORLD WIDE. Just because 29/30 teams are in USA. Doesn’t mean all the players are. And that’s what makes it the best in the world.
I’m American but I understand both sides, no we aren’t an international league but we sure as hell have the best talent in the world by far. I think putting “NBA champions” on the hat instead would be fair though tbh.
So who gets to claim world champions in 2020?
@@TheGamerNinjazXyou just made the point that’s why nba is world champion players from all over world wants to go to nba to compete with the best. Luka, Giannas etc that’s exactly why world champ. Every 4 years US dominate the Olympics . Think before you speak
It’s definitely a valid statement for the NFL
The best basketball players go to NBA for the same reason why football players go for saudi Arabia 💸💸💸💸
Thats not a world championship
NBA players weren't this vocal when they lost to likes of Nigeria when they were actually representing their flag as TEAM USA, even though it was just an exhibition game.
The best players in football play in Europe and in the Champions League. It is not called a "World" anything. It is even continental.
At this point call the mls winners world champions since Messi just went there.
It's NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION. Not International. Not World League. I can't stand such a large amount of people being dumb for no reason. I blame the schools
I can not stand people who build him up by trying talk shit on someone else
I guess you can’t stand logic and the truth either. Hopefully you’ve got a nice bed to lay on…😢
NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION! Its a domestic title. It doesn't matter who comes to the USA to play, IT'S NOT A WORLD TITLE. I don't understand how people don't understand this.
A lot of people making comments on basketball who know nothing about the sport. The NBA may only take place in the USA, but I can assure you our best team would blow any international team out.
They mad cuz he speaking facts
Best league in the world. But it’s also business and entertainment.
What's outrageous is why people are offended, he just stated a fact! Unless you cant make a difference between national and international...maybe somebody needs to correct the English language 😂, national and world are not the same
If you think about it, he does have a point
I think Noah has a point. Being called a "world champion" means you COMPETED against DIFFERENT NATION with the PLAYERS from EACH OF THEIR OWN COUNTRIES. No disrespect to the NBA, but a team in the NBA is composed of the best players from DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, not FROM THE SAME COUNTRY. Yes, the NBA has the best players in the world,but that doesn't mean that each of the players in the NBA are competing for their country in the NBA, instead they are competing for their own franchise to win. REMEMBER it is called "NBA" NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION. Not a World Basketball Association. It means it is NATIONAL.. AGAIN IT IS CALLED NATIONAL.
I mean he Is technically right. Even though the NBA is the most competitive basketball League in the world, its not the same thing as international sports. Even though the NBA has a large number of athletes from other countries, it doesn't mean you are competing to become the world champions. What is generally considered a "world championship title" is one where a single country competes against a bunch of other countries in order to claim the title of world champions. Saying an NBA title is the same as a world championship title is basically like saying the premier League is equivalent to the world cup in football. So idk why people are loosing their minds over this.
For causal: The NBA consists 400 of the best basketball players in the world so if you win a championship against these teams, you are the best team in the world and any NBA team would easily beat every non-nba team there is
Noah is right. For example, in Football or Soccer. Barcelona won a championship and named Laliga Champions they never call themselves as "World Champions". But I'm telling you, no USA football/soccer team can beat Barcelona.
Don’t you have to win a World Cup to be the world Champion? If you win the NATIONAL Basket Association (NBA) championship, you are the champion of a National tournament. There is not discussion!
Lithuania jus proved his point
NBA plays in the Olympics each year and dominate. They're the best league in the world period. There's no right or wrong.
Actually, I agree with Noah Lyles and they should do FIBA Club World Cup just like Fifa Club World Cup to determine World Champion
Weak response from NBA players. Oversensitive babies, who miss games regularly. The NBA has too many games, and it’s extremely boring. Track and Field is exciting, and has amazing titles like “worlds fastest man, and woman”
Just like nba worlds best team USA who wins gold every 4 years unlike track & field oh yeah and players from around the world wants to play in NBA to compete dumbass
Most of the American NBA players are pathetic anyways 😂 they would shit themselves at the site of European crowds
About time somone tell them the truth!
Noah is right…only on technicality. But in practicality he lacks context because the NBA is the “ National Basketball Association”. But it doesn’t have players only from one country. Literally 4 of the top 5 players are international. And if they were to play for their home country they would be the best players undoubtedly. Also the crazy thing about the title “World Champion” is that it doesn’t matter about the competition, only the representation. Switch the flags of the people that raced in the track events with state flags and Noah would be the world champion of nothing. The competition staid the same, but the “REPRESENTATION” changed.
Just food for thought🤔
Outrageous?? More like factual and logical statement.
Sadly, what happens when you dare to speak and uncomfortable/inconvenient truth.
As far i remember the last World Championship was won by Germany, he's not wrong
for everyone saying he’s right, their hats said nba champions tho so he is wrong, and the best international players like jokic and gianni’s don’t even play in international games, they only play in the nba, it’s more competitive and they are better, fibs basketball is just for entertainment, the usa doesn’t have a top 15 player on their team and they still smoke everyone
Its different on international level. The coordination of players may not always be best no matter how good they are in they're individual teams , thats why there are international coaches too.😂 Stars don't always good when they play together
And at the end Noah was right.
Ciao from Italy
There are champions in European football leagues (“soccer for Americans”), the champions league and so on.
They are easily the best competition with the best players from around the world.
None of them will have audacity to call themselves “world” after winning any of them.
Only in US they will do the wrong thing and then vehemently refuse to acknowledge that they are wrong. And on top of that they will argue that they are right😂
Yeah I think NBA is more international, a better example would be NFL. Hardly any international players or players playing in other countries and they don’t play at the Olympics or anything so yeah not world champions really
But he does it by himself. If he has a bad day he loses. If a team player has a bad day, then others fill in for the win.
He spoke truths and they're triggered lolz. Even the NBA calls the NBA champs, "NBA world champions", never just world champions. They know there's a difference.
I wonder what Doncic, Giannis, Jokic, Schröder, Giddey etc. would say.
I only heard Americans saying that the NBA Champions are the "World Champions"
The prem is the best football league but that doesn’t mean winning the league means being a world champion, sprinter is absolutely right.
The boy is right. Pro track and field/Olympics host 200 different nations. (Flags AT the meets) The NBA only ever allowed 40. Think about it. Do we play Pakistan. Iran. Are we scouting them? NO
How are they even mad 😂 he literally just said the truth. You can’t be a world champion from winning a national competition lol that’s not how words work they mean things
Noah was absolutely right.
Noah called Olympics US Dream Team world champions, now it's settled.
Alright guys lets do another example. The uefa champions league. They exactly says thats its a conpetition in europe. There is players all over the world playing in it.
Calling NBA champs world champs is like calling champions league winners world champs however in Europe we aren’t delusional enough to do that even if most of the world’s elite is in there
The winners of UEFA champions league, the league with undoubtedly the best football clubs in the world, call themselves just European champs, not world champions. The argument that "the best players in the world play in the NBA" doesnt add up.
Noah is wrong. The nba has the best players from all over the world. By definition they’re the world champions, because they beat the best of the best, and nobody else can beat them
It’s not the 90‘s anymore! I love the US, but they do NOT get gold every time and the best players currently are internationals. Luka, The Joker, Giannis etc! And players also go to the NBA for the money. Also because it’s still the best league. But not by far.. not every year. Some international teams would smoke some NBA teams..
He spoke the truth though. Nba is just a league.
He makes since .😊
My men Messi and Ronaldo are the emperor of the world 😂
What’s outrageous about his statement? He’s just stating facts.If you are reporting, just say he made a statement, why add unnecessary adjectives to it?
Noah said what we all have been thinking about for years out loud 😂.
He's absolutely right
He said nothing outrageous he spoke facts
He wasn’t diminishing anyones talent or accomplishments just stating simple facts a NBA championship is a domestic title end of discussion
The dumbest excuse and take, to defend world champions 😂 the best players in the world play football (soccer) in Europe and they don’t call themselves world champions when they win the domestic leagues or the continental title - uefa champions league. They’re called European champions. 🤦🏻♂️
Can you imagine Usan Bolt not racing in the world championships, because he considers himself and knows he's the best? Being the best domestic league does not give it world champion status, not even if many foreigners play in it. Even the NBA has its own rules. Last year the Suns lost to a team from Australia. There are sports that are dominated by several countries with their leagues being superior to the others and they are never called World Champions, only the American ones do. It's amazing how this happens and it's happened to several American leagues, it's laughing that baseball has a world series. They are so unaware of the rest of the world that they didn't draft Doncic in the first place. My God😂
When truth becomes an outrage then fantasy has replaced reality.
Is he mad that track isn’t that popular? I don’t understand why he even brought that up in a speech! Played ya self!
The fastest man/woman in the world is determined on the track.
T & F actually does compete aganist the world so its not hate or shade. Its a fact.
There is nothing stopping the NBA from having a true World Championship every few years to legitimize a "world champ", except money 💰 😂😂😂
@@iluvdissheetexcept for the fact that their wouldn’t be a good time to set this event up
If you do it during the off-season you will get players who opt out to relax and stay healthy or you can try to replace an entire NBA season
Neither is a good option.
They do the same with nfl they say world champs and makes u realize u didnt realize the rest of the world plays football
The sprinter is a puppet he did the 6 eye when celebrating so he did this to get media attention like HAMLIN when he got "injured"
All around the world people win titles or championships but just because it's America dont mean because u won an nba championship u world champions anywys bout to watch new fast and furious see u lot thxs for the people in this comment section for actually being sensible and agreeing
The whole world know his right 🤣
