“I love the U.S… but that ain’t the world!” ❌ Noah Lyles throws shade at the NBA’s ‘world champions’
I have to watch the NBA Finals and they have world champion on their heads. World champion of what? The United States? Don’t get me wrong. I love the U.S. at times. But that ain’t the world… We are the world. We have almost every country out here fighting and thriving and putting on a flag to show that they are represented. There ain’t no flags in the NBA.
Yeah, if you’re one of the best 100 players on the planet, there’s exactly one place you’re going to play, and it’s the NBA. Winning whatever international exhibition you want is fine, but it’s not where the best basketball is.
Exactly, and it dates to decades back when The sport was less popular around the world. But even with the popularity it enjoys today around the world, the NBA is absolutely the top league with nothing even remotely close to it. The NBA champ is the world champ.
I really like that basketball is growing across the globe, but it’s straight up ignorant to insinuate the NBA championship isn’t the single biggest achievement in basketball. Maybe that will change, but it won’t be for a good while.
yes! let’s impose our vision on everyone else, we know better!

FIBA champs are the world champs, period. I agree with Noah Lyles!
You are the World Athletics Championship champion because you won by competing against the best in the world, the same is true in the NBA.
