United States track and field star Noah Lyles raised eyebrows with his recent comments in which he was critical about NBA players referring to themselves as “world champions” after winning an NBA title.
“You know what hurts me the most is that I have to watch the NBA Finals and they have ‘world champion’ on their head. World champion of what? The United States?” said Lyles.
Those comments reached a slew of NBA stars, who took to the comment section on Instagram to raise issue with what Lyles said.
